Kos might be known for its quiet atmosphere that's heavy on relaxation, but it's still an island destination that has plenty to offer kids and families alike. Outside of its beaches is a patchwork of historical sites, endless scenic landscapes and just as many ways to explore them.
Famed for its abundance of sandy beaches along its sun-drenched coastline, Kos is brimming with action packed days out away from the golden sands.
The small island of Kos is home to a wealth of historical sights from ancient ruins to churches, cathedrals and castles.
