| You are here: Reports >> Greek Islands >> Kos |
Kos is the second largest of the Dodecanese islands lying three miles off the Turkish coast. With it's smooth coastline and one good natural harbour at the capital Kos town, it rarely exceeds 6 miles in width, although it is 27 miles long. With only one mountain, Mount Dikeos, the rest of the terrain is primarily flat. Tourism dominates the economy, and the majority of the tourist accommodation is concentrated around Kos town itself. With the exception of Kardamena, most of the other resorts are spread along the eastern half of the north coast. 16 miles west of Kos town you will find the airport at Antimacheia. Beach life is very good, with long expanses of sand and beautiful blue waters, while Thermes, a black sand beach, is noted for its hot springs.
