Kos is the third largest of the Dodecanese islands and the birthplace of Hippocrates, considered the father of medicine. Rich in archaeological history, it is a popular base from which to explore the Dodecanese and the nearby Turkish coast.
Our base is in the marina in Kos Town itself, a relatively modern but picturesque town dominated by the Castle of the Knights near the port.
A week takes you south to Nisyros, Tilos, Halki, Rhodes and Symi; with two weeks you can sail north to Kalymnos, Leros, Patmos, Fourni and Lipsi, then west to Astypalaia.
Where you start
In the Gulf of Kos, facing the Turkish coast.
In Kos Town itself, close to the Castle of the Knights and about 1 km from the ferry port.
Facilities
Fly from the UK to Kos International Airport, 25 km from the marina. The transfer takes about half an hour.
The marina is about 1 km from the port, where there are ferry connections to Athens (Piraeus).
Sample itinerary
A suggested seven-night route south through the Dodecanese, to Nisyros, Tilos, Halki, Rhodes and Symi.
Day1
Fly from the UK to Kos and transfer to Kos Marina for embarkation.
Day2
A small volcanic island just south of Kos. Head to White Beach for sand, or Chochlaki beach for excellent windsurfing and snorkelling, and try the local chickpea dish, pithia.
Day3
The epitome of a traditional Greek island, with pleasant beaches, a friendly, far-from-the-crowds feel and an internationally protected bird sanctuary.
Day4
A traditional harbour town protected by UNESCO. Spend the day on a local beach or hike to the abandoned village of Chorio.
Day5
Said to be where the Colossus of Rhodes once stood, the harbour greets you with its deer statues. See the imposing St Nicholas Fortress, explore the Old Town and visit the Evangelismos Church next to the harbour, built by the Italians in 1925.
Day6
Colourful neoclassical houses line the spectacular harbour, and the amphitheatre-shaped town keeps its traditional character. Climb the steps to the church for a superb panoramic view.
Day7
A healthy passage back to base. Windsurfers may want to extend their stay on Kos for some of the best winds in the Med; ask us about a stay at Kefalos Beach Club.
Day8
Disembark and transfer to Kos airport.
