Kos is so much more than its beautiful coastline! For the explorer in you, UniKos encourages you to venture off the beaten track and discover charming mountain villages, stunning panoramas, and even another volcanic island!
🌅 Mountain Highs and Scenic Views
- Zia Village: Perched on the slopes of Mount Dikaios, Zia is famous for having the most spectacular sunset view on the island. It’s a wonderful place for a traditional Greek dinner, shopping for local crafts, and enjoying a panoramic vista.
- Paleo Pyli: Explore the ruins of an old Byzantine castle town nestled high in the hills for incredible history and sweeping views.
⛴️ Easy Day Trips from Kos
Kos’s location in the Aegean makes it an excellent base for island hopping! You can take a short ferry trip to the stunning volcanic Nisyros Island, where you can walk right down into the crater of a still-active volcano—a truly unique experience!
💶 Managing Your Money in Kos
Visitors often ask, “Is Kos expensive, and is it easy to manage money there?” Kos is comparable in price to other popular Mediterranean destinations. You can easily save money by seeking out local tavernas away from the main tourist areas. Cash (Euros) is essential for smaller shops and taxis, but most major restaurants, hotels, and tourist sites accept credit cards. ATMs are widely available in the main towns, making currency management simple.
Don’t just holiday—explore! Let UniKos customize an excursion package that shows you the hidden treasures of Kos and the Dodecanese!
