Self catering holidays Kos

Kos is part of the Dodecanese group of Greek islands, located just off the Turkish mainland. The island has a fascinating history and great beaches and is a fantastic place for a self-catering holiday.

Kos provides a great selection of beaches, despite being a relatively small island. The bay of Tingaki boasts a white sandy beach; Paradise Beach is a breathtakingly beautiful stretch of fine golden sand, lovely shallow waters and a range of water sports. Kardamena and the nearby beaches along Kefalos Bay have excellent facilities for windsurfing and snorkelling.

The capital of Kos island is an attractive and lively port, with shaded tree-lined avenues. Those interested in sightseeing can visit two mosques, a medieval castle and ancient remains; most notably the Asklepion. This is one of the most famous shrines, dedicated to the god of healing Asclepius. Buy fruit and vegetables, souvenirs including ceramics and embroidery at the market in Eleftherias Square.

For a quick bite or a light snack head to Kanari Street where you will find Active, a baguette shop serving freshly made sandwiches. If you are staying in the Psalidi area, try the family run Akrogiali Restaurant, located right by the sea. The restaurant specialises in fresh seafood and typical Greek homemade dishes.
