Kos' Tourist Season

Kos is usually very busy during July and August. For those wanting to avoid the peak of the tourist influx, May and October are relatively quiet months at the same time as being warm enough to enjoy a beach holiday.

Events in Kos

Thanks to Kos's three municipalities, the summer months are jam packed with exciting and interesting festivals and cultural events. The Hippocrateia Festival in Kos Town runs right through summer and includes concerts as well as ancient and contemporary plays. July and August see both the Dikea and Heraclea festivals arrive in Kos. These include concerts, theatrical performances, traditional dances and photography exhibitions. There are other small local and religious festivals across the island throughout the year. The Giorti tou Meliou is one such event - a festival to mark the harvesting of the honey in Antimachia.
