Kos Town Holidays

On the east coast of the island lies the capital, Kos Town. Holidays in Kos Town combine a busy harbour, pretty squares, a vibrant atmosphere, a multitude of restaurants and shops, as well as one of the best beaches on the island. The wide sand and shingle Lambi Beach is dotted with sun loungers and offers an abundance of water sports. The resort has a wide appeal, attracting families, couples, groups, and independent travellers.

Shopping-enthusiasts will enjoy browsing the small shops for souvenirs, jewellery, and local handicrafts, as well as the choice of more upmarket boutiques. Holidays in Kos Town offer an excellent base from which to explore the rest of the island, thanks to its regular bus services. Well worth a trip is Lambi beach, with its glorious sands and pretty harbour. Alternatively, rent a boat or sign-up for tours of the untouched, secluded beaches around the coast.

In the evenings, Kos Town is positively bursting with restaurants, tavernas, lively bars, discos and nightclubs. The majority of eateries are clustered around the harbour. Here visitors will find traditional Greek dishes, locally caught seafood and a wide choice of international favourites. Those who don't fancy hitting the dance floor can enjoy quieter evenings in more relaxed bars, located along the old cobbled streets, and get to know the locals.
