Whether it be history, sightseeing, nightlife or beaches, you will not be disappointed here in Kos Town.
Description
Kos town is built around the harbour from which the town fans out. In the centre is an ancient city (polis) consisting of ruins, an old city limited mostly to pedestrians, and the new city with wide, tree-lined streets. Guarded by the impressive Castle of the Knights, Kos town has two main beaches with bars & tavernas running along its promenade, and exciting nightlife to rival any resort in Greece. Whether it be history, sightseeing, nightlife or beaches, you will not be disappointed.
Younger visitors flock to the town in peak season, although in general all ages are attracted.
