Kos Town is the capital of the island and where the main port is situated. There is plenty to see and do here, including the Castle of the Knights of Saint John which is worth a visit. The better restaurants, cafes and bars are here.

Mount Dikeos

Dikeos is the highest mountain of Kos and once you reach the summit you will be rewarded with spectacular views over the northern coastline. You will need a car to get you to the top unless you are a confident hiker.

Guinate Tropical Park & Penguin Paradise

posted by nlaborde on 29 October 2010 at 15:23

Really lovely gardens and a good selection fo animals form cute to quirky. I love penguins and it was easy just to sit and watch them for ages. And at the end of the day the bar was a good place to rest a bit before heading home!
