Kos Old Town Guide: Where to Eat, Stay and Explore
Kos Old Town is the pedestrian heart of Kos Town, running from Freedom Square to Diagoras Square. Here is what sits inside it, where to eat and stay, and how to walk in from the port, the airport bus or a nearby resort.
Lambi, Kos: Beach, Neighborhood Guide and What to Expect
Lambi is the long beach strip just north of Kos Town, roughly three kilometres from the centre. Here is what the shoreline is really like, how to walk or cycle in, and how to weigh a beach-bar base against staying in town.
Platani, Kos: A Village Guide to Food and Getting There
Platani is a compact village a short hop west of Kos Town, on the road up to the Asclepieion. It rewards travelers who come for home-style taverna cooking, Ottoman-rooted sweets and a slow wander around the plane tree square rather than for beaches, shops or nightlife.
Psalidi, Kos: Beach, Hotels and Getting to Kos Town
Psalidi is the low-key resort strip on the coast east of Kos Town, built around a sand-and-shingle beach with shallow water, watersports and a line of hotels facing the Aegean. It suits travelers who want quiet evenings and quick access to town, not a nightlife scene of its own.
