Scorching sun and intense fun with our Kos holidays
A Kos holiday is a great recipe for a consistently hot and sunny getaway from the unpredictable UK climate. This lush, warm and fertile eastern Aegean island has, long before the planeloads of northern Europeans that flock there every year, been enjoyed by the Persians, the Romans and the Venetians, and as such is crawling with history.
But for those not looking to bask in its historical monuments and architecture, Kos is a sunbather’s paradise, with resorts that have long, sandy beaches at the core of their assets. Around them, one can find all that is modern and traditional in terms of food, drink, shopping, entertainment and nightlife. Whatever your passion, a Kos holiday will have the goods to satisfy your craving.
Top Kos holiday resorts
Kos holiday resorts come with sun and sea as standard but range widely in terms of atmosphere. Kos Town will be perfect for those looking to sample some history by day and the bustling nightlife come sundown whilst Tingaki will untie the knots of those looking for rest and relaxation.
