Why you’ll love this…

  • Explore Kos – old and new, in your own time
  • Swim and relax at the beach
What to expect

Just across the water from Turkey is the Greek island of Kos. Known for its beautiful sandy beaches and classical antiquities, a catamaran or ferry ride will take you to its capital, Kos town, where you'll have the day to explore on your own.

Prepare to be charmed by the town, where ancient and modern sit side by side. Dip into the shops and boutiques in the streets behind the harbour or sip coffees in the square, admiring the huge plane tree – it's said that Hippocrates held lessons under it 2,400 years ago. And admire the sea views from the battlements of the 15th-century Knights' fortress. History lovers will also want to see nearby Asklepieion. One of Greece's most important classical sites, its marble temples mark where the world's first hospital once stood.

Or if you fancy some R&R, take your pick of the town's beaches. Its shores are laced with sandy sweeps perfect for getting in some sunbathing and swimming before your ride back. And remember, you'll need to cross the borders — sometimes with lengthy security and passport checks — between Turkey and Greece in this tour, so a valid passport or photo ID is needed.

    Wir haben den Ausflug inkl. Abholung am Hotel gebucht. Nach über 45 Minuten warten auf unseren Bus haben wir schlussendlich ein Taxi zum Hafen nehmen müssen, da der Bus nicht kam! In Bodrum gibt es mehrere Abfahrtshafen, somit mussten wir mit dem Taxifahrer mehrere davon anfahren. Auf dem Ticket sollte wenigstens die Adresse der Abfahrt stehen. Von einem TUI-Guide war keine Spur, somit hätten wir die Fahrt selbst am Hafen buchen können. Vom TUI-Service haben wir NICHTS mitbekommen! Schade...

    An sich war der Ausflug sehr schön und wir können es sehr empfehlen. Als wir dort waren (Donnerstag) waren die Anstehzeiten auch nicht so lang. Der "Guide" war allerdings nicht existent und eigentlich nur der Busfahrer. Wir haben keine Infos zu Irgendwas bekommen und haben uns alles selbst erfragt. Uns wurde nicht mal gesagt wann wir wieder an der Fähre sein sollen.

    Le centre ville de Kos est très joli mais nous avions demandé un guide que nous n'avons pas eu, nous avions demandé la langue anglaise, le français n'étant pas proposé. Arrivés au port, un guide TUI était présent mais pour un groupe polonais. Il a refusé de nous prendre en charge et nous devions nous débrouiller tout seuls. Prise en charge lamentable, à déconseiller fortement ! Attente ++++ du bateau à l'aller ainsi qu'au retour.. une demi journée à attendre.....

    Uns hat der Tagesablauf gut gefallen, vor allem weil er gut organisiert wurde. In der Beschreibung wäre gut zu erwähnen, dass die Fahre im Herbst und Winter nur 2x tgl. fährt (die un 16:00 Uhr entfällt). Wir hatten auch bei den Passkontrollen keine Schwierigkeiten. Zufällig haben wir mitbekommen, dass eine Fahrt die ohne Reservierung mit der Fähre gemacht wird das Doppelte gekostet hätte (der Transfer von/zum Hotel fehlt dann auch noch).
