ISLAND HEAVEN
Home to a dramatic sandy coastline and healing thermal springs, an escape to Kos is holiday heaven. With over 20 idyllic beaches, including the Blue Flag Tigaki Beach – there’s no shortage of coastal spots where you can dip in and out of the sparkling waters of the Aegean Sea.
Kos is kid-friendly too – make a beeline for the north coast where you’ll find plenty of shallow places for paddling and soft sand for exploring. If you have older kids in tow, head to the popular resort town of Kardamena for kayaking, windsurfing and parascending.
More of a history buff? Kos has you covered, with a history stretching back thousands of years. Don’t miss the amazing Roman theatre in Kos Town or the wonderfully preserved Asklepion, a collection of healing temples dating back to the 3rd century BC.
