The Asklepion of Kos is not just another ruin. It is the most significant ancient site on the island and one of the most important medical sanctuaries in the entire Greek world. This is where Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine, is said to have taught his students around 400 BC. If you are renting […]
Kos is one of the Aegean’s best-kept windsurfing secrets. While neighbouring Rhodes and Karpathos get most of the attention, Kos offers a mix of flat-water bays, wave breaks and reliable summer wind that works for every level — and the best spots are scattered across the island, so having a rental car waiting at Kos […]
Kos is one of those islands where having your own wheels transforms the holiday. The public buses run, but they stick to the main coast road. If you want to catch sunset at Zia, find the quiet coves near Kefalos, or just pop to the supermarket without waiting 40 minutes in the July heat, a […]

Kos is one of those islands that rewards you for having your own wheels. The bus network connects the main towns, but the real magic — the thermal springs at Therma, the mountain village of Zia at sunset, the abandoned plane at Kefalos — lies down narrow roads and coastal tracks that buses simply do […]
Kos is home to some of the finest beaches in the Dodecanese, and having a rental car means you can hop between them at your own pace. Whether you want golden stretches of sand, quiet coves with crystalline water or family-friendly bays with shallow entry, this guide covers the best beaches in Kos you can […]
