Hotels in Kos, Greece

Kos is a Greek island in the Aegean Sea with a Mediterranean climate-summers are hot and dry (around 86°F / 30°C), perfect for windsurfing at the beaches of Kefalos Bay, while winters are mild (around 55°F / 13°C), ideal for exploring the 4th-century BC Asklepion, where Hippocrates taught medicine. It's famous for its sandy shores and ancient ruins, so in July you can kitesurf at Marmari's shallow lagoon, and in November you can hike to the Castle of Neratzia without the crowds. The island splits into two vibes: Kardamena offers buzzy beach bars and watersports, while the east coast near Kos Town has quieter coves and the Hippocrates Tree.
