What is Kos Best Known for?
IIf you are planning a summer Kos holiday, schedule a discovery journey along the island's sandy beaches. Kefalos, Thermik, Agios Stefanos, and Mastihari have fine sandy beaches and are generally quieter. Not far from Mastihari are Tigaki and Marmari, which are among the most visited holiday regions on the island due to the variety of water sports they offer. The island's interior is slightly higher and steeper, while along the coastlines, the clear sea water invites you to take a dive. Kos, the birthplace of Hippocrates, has a deeply rooted history. From ancient times until today, it has been populated by different civilizations and cultures, each of which has left its mark. Worth seeing when visiting Kos town are the ancient Agora, the Casa Romana, the Neratzia castle, and the ancient temple of Asklepieion.
Kos Beaches
Kamari Beach
Kamari Beach is located in the south of the island in Kefalos Bay. It is characterized above all by its length and width, which makes it a popular destination for beach lovers. The crystal clear waters invite you to bathe for hours. The great view of the bay can be enjoyed from the adjacent restaurant, especially with a cozy snack.
Lambi Beach
Due to its proximity to Kos town in the north-east of the island, Lambi Beach is just as popular with local residents as it is with holidaymakers and therefore offers a good touristic infrastructure. Whether you're looking for a good gastronomic offering from a popular Kos restaurant, comfortable sun loungers, or water sports, everything is available at Lambi Beach. The beach has lively but also quieter sections. It is ideal for walks, and it is also worth coming here in the evening. The day can be rounded off perfectly with chilled music and a cocktail in one of the numerous bars.
Paradise Beach
This true paradise is located in the south of Kos and is one of the main spots for daily visitors in summer. Paradise Beach has established itself as a popular place, especially for holidaymakers with rental cars, because there are no hotel complexes directly adjacent to it. There are sun loungers and water sports on offer, and the Paradise Beach restaurant also offers drinks and food for your gastronomic well-being. Its shallow entry and fine sand make the beach particularly suitable for smaller children. To experience this magical city for yourself, make sure to book the next flight to Kos from Corendon Airlines and start your journey.

Kos Culture
Castle of Antimachia
While looking for things to do in Kos, remember that a journey back in time awaits you with a visit to the Castle of Antimachia. This fortress stands completely lonely on a hill above Kardamena Bay. For a long time, it served as a place of refuge for the population to get to safety from enemy attacks and to defend themselves from there. People lived here until the middle of the 18th century, when the castle area was no longer sufficient. The site is a bit overgrown, but the way up here is certainly worth it since the view over the bay is just wonderful. There are traces of the former residents to be discovered everywhere, and two small churches are freely accessible.
Kos Town
The island's capital, Kos Town, is located in the northeast and is ideal for both holiday and day trips. The historic old town has buildings with Ottoman and Venetian architecture. With the Asklepieion, the city hosts Kos's most important ancient site. This attraction is located only 4 km outside the city on a hill and offers a beautiful coast view on a clear day. Further important archaeological sites in the town are the Casa Romana, the Altar of Dionysos, and the Odeon. You can easily reach any one of these tourist-packed destinations by searching Corendon Airlines' cheap flights to Kos.
Kos Nature
Salt lake Alikes
The natural phenomenon of Alikes is only 15 km away from Kos Town. As a home and nature reserve for countless species of birds, including flamingos, the salt lake offers a wonderful backdrop. Until the nineties, there was still salt work, which is now closed. The best way to get to the Alikes is by car via a somewhat difficult road. Since the lake is often dry in summer, the best time to visit is spring and autumn.
The mountain village of Zia
The mountain village of Zia is the highest place in Kos. Although the village is quite small, with just more or less a hundred inhabitants, it attracts visitors from the coastal regions every year. You can also eat the typical food of the island here. A stroll through the small alleys creates a very special holiday atmosphere. The beautiful view and the pure nature up here are unique and will ensure unforgettable moments.
