A Tigaki holiday will take you about 11 km from Kos Town and beside a quaint, lush valley and long, sandy beach. The resort has a great range of cuisine on offer, including seafood and traditional Greek dishes, plus other international foods and snack outlets. There is also a vibrant nightlife to be sampled come sundown, with many quirky bars and discos open 'til the early hours. When the sun is out, incidentally the majority of the day, there is a huge, 10 km length beach surrounded by clear blue waters and mountainous scenery to be enjoyed and relaxed upon. Needless to say, those looking to get their tan on abroad will not be without opportunity taking a Tigaki holiday.

The exchange rates are all the same throughout the country and you exchange money at a bank or official exchange shop where you will get the best running rates.
