Top Kos Day Trips - page 2

Escape the crowds of Kos for a relaxing day trip to three Greek islands by boat. Private transportation takes you from your hotel to the pier, where you’ll take off for Kalymnos.  In addition to enjoying the harbor, you’ll also visit a sponge workshop. Later, basque on the beaches of tiny Pserimos. Finally, swim in the crystal clear waters surrounding Platiein Island before heading back to your hotel in Kos.

To truly discover Kos’ rugged interior and gorgeous beaches, you need a 4WD and local knowledge. This small-group tour delivers both, with an experienced safari captain at the wheel of your vehicle. Drive along country tracks and off-road routes amid stark mountains, lush forest, traditional villages and crystal bays, with plenty of photo stops, and enjoy a delicious lunch, with wine, in a local taverna. No children under three.

Get off the beaten tourist path (literally) on an off-road safari of Kos. After hotel pick-up, your small group spends several action-packed hours traversing thick vegetation and off-road routes to take you to some of the best panoramic views and lesser-known tourist spots.  Along the way, enjoy a traditional Greek lunch served with wine, as well as locally prepared coffee. Finally, relax on the way back to your hotel.

If there's one must-visit while you're in Kos, it's the volcanic island of Nisyros. Greek legend says it was created from a stone thrown by the god Poseidon. And it's a scenic gem of an hour-long trip that takes you there. Visit Mandraki, Nikia, the Stefanos crater and more.

Traveling in a Jeep is a great way to get off the tourist trail and discover beautiful rural sites, away from the crowds.
