Hotels of Greece
Kos
Kos is rich in archaeology including Hellenistic, Roman, Byzantine and Venetian sites. Many of the island's beautiful beaches used to be quite crowded just as they are in Mykonos and Santorini and the other popular islands, but a drop in the number of package tourists mean there are bargains to be found in even the most luxurious hotels. The interior of the island is still undeveloped, fertile and agricultural and best of all, largely flat so that riding bicycles (and of course motorbikes) is a fun way to get around. There are daily ferries to and from Pireaus and the other large islands of the Dodecanese, daily boats to Bodrun in Turkey and three flights a day to and from Athens.

You can also use the Kos Hotel Search if the choices here seem too overwhelming or if you are looking for a particular hotel. A great way to plan your trip is my Create-an-itinerary page which allows you to put together a custom itinerary with the help of a travel agency with no obligation to book. You can find recommended travel agencies on Matt's Travel Agencies and Tours Page. For more information on the island visit Matt's Guide to Kos.
