Best places: Things to dos in Kos, Greece

Small harborside area of narrow streets lined with cafes & shops in Byzantine & medieval buildings.

Open-air Roman theater, built in the 2nd century, with restored marble seating & galleries.

👍👍 Kos old town is just great. make sure to visit the castle and old Agra. mom's kitchen and the taverna next to it in the covered walkway beside the agra were our goto places for dinner and lunch. There is a GREAT ice cream and sorbet vendor on the corner of the front that is worth seeking out . e...

Ancient, restored Roman villa with 2 floors of art, including mosaics, frescoes & sculptures.

Ancient island artifacts from sculptures to mosaics in a 1936 building from the Italian occupation.

Tranquil spot with a large plane tree that legend says Hippocrates taught his pupils under.

👍 As far as central squares go, this one doesn't offer much from a landascape perspective. It's got a couple of restaurants around it, as well as a supermarket, but nothing else. It's really just a flat, open space. A fountain or a statue in the center would have been nice.

👍 The square is pretty busy at times, with all the cars, motorcycles, buses and bikes running around. The bus station is right there as well, and it can become hectic. You can find many restaurants, souvenirs and a good supermarket, while the harbor is right next to it. For most, this is the starting...

😐 I would rather pay and see history being well maintained than what I saw here. Unfortunately this is common in Kos. I don’t get why people give 5 stars: have you being to Rome or Venice? History needs to be preserved.

👍 If you ask me, I think the sign is a bit kitsch, BUT there's no one making money out of it. There are no balloon vendors or "professional" photographer asking you to pay for a photo. It's just a sign. Aestethically, it doesn't match the old island vibes, but hats off for not making it into somethin...

👍👍 Ecumenical Patriarchate Holy Metropolitan Bishop of Kos and Nisyros. Holy Church of Paul of the city of Kos. Worship service is every Sunday at 11:30 a.m. The church is usually closed outside of church service times. However, the anteroom is accessible for prayers at any time.

Sculpture-strewn, 14th-century ruins of a seaside fortress featuring panoramic vistas of Kos harbor.

👍 Unfortunately it hasn’t been renovated after the earthquake in 2017 and it’s closed.

👍👍 The Catholic Church of the Holy Cross is located on the site of the Catholic Cemetery and is now the only Catholic Church on the island of Kos. Services are held every Saturday at 6 p.m. and every Sunday at 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. from April to September. In the summer, church services are also held reg...

👍 A little overgrown when I visited but it's free and open to everyone to wonder and explore in their own time.

Peaceful sand beach known for its rustic setting, tranquil blue waters & secluded vibe.

Stunning archaeological site featuring the ancient remains of a villa with a courtyard & mosaics.

👍👍 Such a lovely place to have a walk around. If you’re in Kos you need to pay a visit and see the rich history Kos has to offer!
