Explore the Natural and Cultural Wonders of Kos

Kos, known as the Bicycle Island, offers a wealth of activities that showcase its stunning landscapes and rich cultural heritage. Whether you prefer cycling, hiking, bird watching, wine tasting, or scuba diving, Kos provides diverse opportunities to immerse yourself in its unique environment.

Cycling: Exploring Kos by bike is a delightful experience due to the island's flat terrain and extensive network of bicycle paths that meander through the city and along the coast. Renowned as the Bicycle Island, Kos offers an easy and enjoyable method of transportation that allows you to discover its beauty at your own pace.

Hiking: For those who enjoy hiking, a trek from Zia village to the top of Mount Dikaios (843 m) takes about 90 minutes. The summit rewards hikers with panoramic views of the Aegean Sea and nearby islands. At the top, you'll find the church of Christos, a large cross, and a well-maintained shelter where you can stay overnight.

Bird Watching: Kos is a paradise for bird watchers, featuring three Natura 2000 protected areas: the Alikes salt lake in Tigaki, Lake Psalidi, and Mount Dikaios. These areas are perfect for spotting and listening to various bird species. For a chance to see migratory birds, including flamingos, visit Kos in early spring (March and April).

Wine Tasting: The island’s vineyards produce wines from indigenous grape varieties such as Assyrtiko, Athiri, Malagouzia, and internationally known varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon. Visit wineries such as Triantafyllopoulos Vineyards and Hatziemmanouil Winery to taste authentic local wines and learn about the island's winemaking traditions.

Scuba Diving: The volcanic nature of Kos has created a coastline with numerous underwater caves and reefs, ideal for scuba diving. Various diving centers across the island offer courses for all levels, from beginners to advanced divers, catering to both children and adults.

Kos invites you to explore its natural and cultural treasures, promising unforgettable experiences and a deeper connection to its enchanting landscape.
