KOS ISLAND
Welcome to the Kos Island WWW Home Page !
Kos is one of the most beautiful and sunniest islands of the Aegean
Sea. It lies at the south eastern point of the Aegean Sea and is
the third in extent island of the Dodecanese (meaning twelve in
greek) Islands. Its richness in historic monuments, its beautiful
weather virtually all year round, its sanded beaches accompanied
by its crystal clear water are some of the facts responsible for
attracting so many tourists each year.
This was the first home page dedicated to Kos island, created sometime
in 1994. Web pages were not as fancy then as they are today. That's
why you'll find very limited graphics here.
Kos Town
Kos town is the capital of the island. It combines historic monuments
with a modern planning of broad streets bordered with trees, big
squares, and houses with gardens. Throughout the town you will find
an abundance of trees, bushes and flowers: fir, pine tree, cypress,
eucalyptus, oak, jar mine, lilac, acacia and hibiscus. Take a stroll
on the rock paved streets of the old town where you will find numerous
tourist shops or maybe lie on the sandy beaches under the sun. When
it gets dark, there is a rich variety of restaurants and taverns
with Greek and international cousine. At night there are a number
of places to go to, depending how quiet or ... wild you want to
spend you night: Greek bouzoukia, dance bars, discos.
