What to expect

On this half-day outing, you'll explore Kos town under your own steam. As the island's capital, it offers up plenty of stuff to see and do. You'll be picked up from your hotel and dropped off in the centre, where the time's all yours to do as you wish.

Many make a beeline for the port, which lined with cafés and tavernas is a great spot to soak in the town's atmosphere while nibbling on meze. At the far end of the harbour is the castle, which was built by the Knights of St John back in the 14th century. Elsewhere in the town, you've got the Roman Baths, the Odeon and Ancient Agora as well as the shop-and-bar-lined Eleftherias Square.

And the recently renovated Archaeological Museum is packed with classical relics such as sculptures and mosaics. And Hippocrates' Plane Tree is a great spot for selfie. There's also the pebbly beach – an ideal spot to relax after all that sightseeing. Your transfer back will be ready at 13:30.

    We were left waiting on the side of the road for 50 minutes for a bus that turned up at 9:10 not 8:20 as stated with no communication. Pregnant partner and a toddler this isn’t great

    Coach driver prompt and polite. Appreciate it was self guided tour but there was a guide on the bus who could have given a little more info. May be trip could come with small map/suggestions? The castle in Kos town is shut for refurb. Most archeological sites seem to shut Tues (we went Monday) so if had booked a day after (nearly did) would have been cross. Essentially was just an expensive bus ticket but went door to door and we enjoyed visiting Kos town.

    Very disorganised we were left at the marina no guide and not told when to return or where to return to for the return bus. Was supposed to include an audio guide but this did not materialise. The other tui guides in other tours were unhelpful and did not speak English or at least didn’t when I tried to ask them for help.

    The coach came on time to the hotel and we spent over 4 hours in Kos town as per the tour information. No guide as stated but the driver did make sure we knew the coach number and pick up point etc., before we left the coach. Not sure there is much wrong with the trip as only about 3or 4 pick ups/drop offs in our area. Probably only took about 10 minutes longer than by taxi due to pick ups.

Sie beginnen in Kos-Stadt, besuchen dann das historische Asklepeion und beenden den Tag in dem hübschen, auf einem Hügel gelegenen Dorf Zia.Kos-Stadt ist reich an Geschichte, mit Denkmälern aus der klassischen Antike über die byzantinische und osmanische Zeit bis hin zum Rationalismus der 1930er Jahre. Gemeinsam mit Ihrem Tourguide werden Sie durch die Straßen der fotogenen Stadt schlendern und bei einem informativen Spaziergang die Vielfalt der Architektur und der Sehenswürdigkeiten in sich aufsaugen.Anschließend geht es zu den Ruinen von Asclepeion, die auf einem mit Pinien bewachsenen Hügel liegen und einen herrlichen Blick auf die Stadt Kos und die Türkei bieten. Ihr Tourguide wird Sie über diesen 2.500 Jahre alten „Tempel der Heilung“ aufklären, und anschließend haben Sie Zeit, sich auf eigene Faust umzusehen, bevor Sie nach Zia fahren. Hier können Sie den Streichelzoo besuchen, in den Geschäften stöbern oder ein kühles Getränk in einer Taverne genießen.
