Kos island - perfect spot on your gulet cruise. Start planning

Kos island destination guide

Kos island is a significant and exciting island for nautical tourism. If you decide to sail North or South Dodecanese islands most probably, Kos island will be one of your destinations. Here you will spend some hours sightseeing or enjoy bustling overnight. The island measures 40 by 8 kilometres and is located 4 km (2 miles) from the coast of Turkey. The main port on the island, Kos town, is also the tourist and cultural centre. It’s a beautiful small town with whitewashed buildings including many restaurants, shops and boutiques and many nightclubs forming the Kos town “bar street”.

For the reason that limited gulets are available for boarding on Kos, most of the gulets are coming to Kos from nearby Turkish ports. You can reach Kos island from Bodrum port in less than 2 hours navigation. On arrival to Kos harbour, your gulet will first complete customs formalities and after you are free to discover the island.

You can decide to spend some hours on the beach because several beaches are walking distance from the harbour.

The island of Kos is also very well known for its cycle lanes. The town is a beautiful and fascinating place with lots of archaeological sites, museum, good restaurants and nightlife. So, by renting a bicycle for a couple of hours, you can discover all the town’s hidden gems.
At first, the Castle of the Knights is the most imposing monument and dominates the harbour. Next not to be missed is The plane tree of Hippocrates. You will also enjoy Eleftheria Square with its cafeterias, market and archaeological museum and the ruins of the ancient city with the Hellenistic and Roman buildings.

We highly recommended the whole island tour. Kos island is rich in monuments and unique and stunning scenery. 43km in length is offering plenty of interesting sites, villages and beautiful beaches located south of the island. The whole Kos island is an endless beach with crystal blue water offering endless hours of fun and relaxation.
