A drive of just under 6 km will take you to the main town of Kardamena with its host of bars, tavernas and nightclubs. Kos has an incredible cultural history to explore, with a number of castles and museums around the area, including the hilltop ruins of the 14th-century Antimachia Castle, just inland from Kardamena. You can hike up here for views over the resort. For a day trip, you can even take a boat from Kos to the ancient beachside city of Bodrum in Turkey, where you’ll find plenty of medieval architecture and a popular bazaar.
