Entertainment
Water sports such as jet skiing, parasailing, water skiing, wind surfing and much more are available at the major hotels and practically all organised beaches. Get to feel the sea, the sun and the excitement of becoming one with the water.
Kos can easily be described as a gastronomic paradise, since its cuisine is not only unique but also rich in alternatives. Traditional Greek restaurants, which are to be found practically around every corner, will serve you the true taste of Greece, while seafood tavernas serve fish so fresh, still having the clear smell of the blue waters of the Aegean Sea. Options go on further, with luxury dining, restaurants with continental food, pizzerias, creperies and fast food to be at a hand's reach.
For an after dinner drink or dancing, visit one of the several night clubs down by the harbour. If what you want is a more romantic setting, there are seaside cafes and cosy bars in the "Old Town", that will make your romantic mood reach its peak. Do visit clubs with Greek music or the world - wide known "Bouzoukia" with live music and traditional dancing. Get ready to have the time of your life!
Shopping on Kos
A trade centre throughout the centuries, the market of Kos is a real consumer's paradise.
Many tourist shops in the famous "Old Town" and the commercial streets of Kos, offer gold and silver jewellery, a variety of ceramics and leather goods at extremely low prices. Oil paintings and Byzantine icons are a really special souvenir, a symbol of one of the various cultures Kos has lived.
Exact replicas of Archaic Greek vases and jewellery reminiscent of the Gods, mirror the times of Kos in antiquity, another era that has left its sign strong on Kos. In their majority these items are hand crafted by local craftsmen, using all their skills and art, finest in quality, low in prices.
Take a taste of the sweetest desserts, such as Baklava and Candied Tomatoes, of the delicious honey harvested by local beekeepers in Antimachia and many more at the local patisseries and cafes all over the island.
Another local favourite is the wine cheese (Tiri tis Posas), goat cheese carefully prepared and cured in red wine. The result is an amazing combination of flavours, a taste of Kos you can take back home with you. Make a stop at the villages of Kos to taste the local Cinnamon drink and ask for Nisyros� special Soumada, a soft drink made of bitter almonds.
All of these delicacies can be purchased in the patisseries, supermarkets and mini-markets, made of the finest ingredients nature has to offer.
Whatever your purchase, bear in mind that quality and value are top priority.
