Kos

Population:

31,000

Money:

The Greek currency has been the Euro (€) since 2002. Since the adoption of the Euro, prices have shot up meaning that Greece is no longer the poor man's Mediterranean country it once was. ATMs are to be found in Kos town and the larger resorts. Many larger hotels will be willing to change foreign currency too.

Language:

Greek is the official language of Greece and whilst you can expect people in the tourist trade to speak English, the average Kos farmer is unlikely to.

Dialling codes:

The Greek dialling code is +30. The local code for Kos is 2725.

Entry:

Citizens of the UK do not require a visa to enter Greece
