FAQs
Kos can be as affordable or as indulgent as you like. You’ll find plenty of family-run tavernas serving delicious, budget-friendly food, and many hotels include meals and entertainment in the price. Car hire and attractions are generally good value compared to other Greek islands.
Kos is famous for its beautiful beaches, warm hospitality, ancient ruins, and relaxed atmosphere. It’s a perfect blend of Greek culture, sunshine, and family-friendly fun.
Direct flights from most UK airports take around four hours, making it a very manageable journey for families – not too long for little travellers!
Absolutely! Kos is one of Greece’s most family-friendly islands. The beaches are shallow and safe, the locals are incredibly welcoming, and there’s a great mix of things to do for all ages – from castles and waterparks to relaxed seaside days.
The best time to visit is May to June or September to October when the weather is warm but not too hot, and the island is a little quieter. If you prefer guaranteed sunshine and don’t mind busier beaches, July and August are also fantastic.
Not necessarily, but it’s a great way to explore. The island is small and easy to drive around, and you’ll discover quiet beaches and beautiful villages that buses don’t always reach. If you’re staying in a main resort like Kos Town or Tigaki, you can get by with local transport and taxis.
It’s technically safe in most areas, but bottled water is widely available and many visitors prefer it as it tastes better.
