Kos Town
The ancient port and popular holiday destination of Kos, the
capital and major town on the island, has been home to Egyptians,
Romans, Venetians, Ottomans and the Knights of St John. Their
marked presence can be seen in the ruins of the Roman baths and
amphitheatre remains and in the 15th-century castle, built by the
Knights of St John, which still stands as a supreme sentry
today.
There has been much development over recent years, with
apartment blocks stretching out to the suburbs of Lambi and Psalidi
(to the north and south respectively), however Kos remains a
fascinating and cosmopolitan town with a good mix of culture and
entertainment attracting thousands of holidaymakers each year.
There is a busy nightlife with no shortage of bars and hotchpotch
of restaurants from English-style cafes to local tavernas - many
situated around the old harbour area overlooking traditional
fishing boats and sleek yachts. The main beach in town is a fairly
narrow, shingle affair packed with beach chairs and umbrellas, but
there are better beaches a short bus journey away. Kos Town is
perfectly situated for taking boat trips to Turkey and the nearby
islands.
