Review:

One of the largest of the Dodecanese islands, Kos is a popular tourist destination in the south-eastern Aegean Sea not far from the Turkish coast. While tourists are attracted by some of the most beautiful of all the Greek beaches, the island is a fascinating mix of massive crags, lush valleys covered with wildflowers, ancient olive groves, and remnants of antique monument such as Odeon, gymnasium, Asclepeion, and many others that, often unguarded and ignored, poke through the wilderness.

Kos is a lively tourist spot with great hotels, a famous bar street, and busy harbor. It also has a massive medieval castle standing guard over it as well as a fascinating archeological zone with precious ancient artifacts.
