The island has a 5,000-year-long history and has been influenced by many cultures, such as the Ancient Greeks, the Romans, the Venetians, the medieval Knights, and the Ottomans.
Thanks to the remains of all these cultures, sightseeing is one of the best things to do on the island.

Of course, we can't skip mentioning the excellent hotels that you can book for your stay in Kos!
The island is famous for its all-inclusive hotels, which are preferred by families with children. However, one can find options for different budgets in various locations on the island.

Lastly, a fact that may come as a surprise, is that one of the recommended activities to do is cycling. In fact, Kos is also known as the “cycling island”, since the bicycle is a very popular means of transportation.
There’s also a 13-kilometer-long cycling road starting from Faros Beach and ending at Psalidi. In addition to that, though, there are many mountain trails, ideal for cycling in nature.

Kos is among the best-developed islands of the Dodecanese when it comes to tourism!
Many all-inclusive hotels are scattered around the island, usually no more than a few meters away from the beach.
They provide excellent facilities, including restaurants, swimming pools, wellness centers, and others.

However, even though the island is mainly known for its all-inclusive hotels, one can find more budget-friendly accommodations, too. Non-luxury hotels, villas, studios, and apartments are all available on the island.
