just a general question as too when they start to open

Hi, could someone be so kind of giving me some information about buses from Kos town to Antimachia. Thank you very much.

Is there anything to do on Kos other than go to the beaches? any suggestions on what to see and what to avoid? I will be in Kos for 1 day (11.00 - 18.00). What can I get to by public transport? How long does it take to get there and how frequent is the public transport? I dare not miss my ship!!!! Thanks Michelle

I will be in Kos for 1 day with a boat cruise. Is there public transport from the harbour? What are the costs of public transport to the various beaches? Do the busses go to the ancient Roman agora & Asclepion? Has anyone been on the Blue Train (Asklepieion tour) and the Green train (City tour)? What are the costs of these tours? What language are they in? Is the tourist office close to the harbour? Any idea how to contact them by email

I will be arriving at Kos port on Monday 18th July and would like to travel by bus to the airport. Can you let me have the bus times please. Thankyou

We wish to visit Patmos and want to know if this can be done by leaving Bodrum by hydrofoil to Kos and on to Patmos, stay overnight and return from Patmos to Izmir - what route would we have to take and can we do this whole trip in three days in October 2010?

Is there anyway I can get a bus timetable for Kos as I would like to travel around while I am there in September? Thanks

We are holidaying in Kos (Kefalos) during September this year. On other internet posting sites I have read that bars and tavernas are struggling and are thus lowering prices. Last year on Skopelos I paid between 3 and 5 euros for 500ml of Mythos lager, and felt that I was being ripped off every day. What are prices like in Kos this year. Also, is it better to change my GB pounds over there. Thanks in advance for any advice given. Brynn and Pam Welch.

Hello everybody! I`ve booked my tickets to Kos and arrive by Norwegian at 03:50 02/July. I need to get to Irina Beach Hotel at Tigaki. Could anybody tell me aprox price by taxi there or if there is any bus transfer? I checked out this given web site to book an advance kostaxi.eu/transfer.php?lang... but the price of 49 € Airport - Tigaki (one-way transfer) seems a bit too high Do you think it is easier and cheaper to get taxi just at the airport? Me and my friend shall stay about 6 days in Kos. Does it make sence to hire a car for a day or two to explore the island or bus connections are ok? In case of car hire, is it cheaper/better to do it in advance by internet or just get the car in the island? Any specific day trips to the other Greek islands you could reccomend?

Hey everyone, I'm 26 and a bit of a spur of the moment kind of guy, i have just booked a week in Kos and i will be traveling alone (as i decided i would have a holiday and booked it with the hour, so my mates cant get the time off). My question is, where is the best place to go to meet new people... I'm looking to tear it up for a week so want to meet people who live for the moment like me :) I will be arriving July 3rd and staying just outside Kos Town. Thanks!

My husband and I used to go to the Greek Islands most years, but after an awful holiday in Corfu. Sidari to be precise which was more like Blackpool. Plus my husband got very ill from what the locals told us pollution in the sea and had to spend a few days in hospital and then was hospitalised in the UK. Anyway we have decided to try the Greek islands again and have chosen Kos. Can anyone recommend somewhere nice which is family or couples orientated. Ie not a place with a bar street or where youngsters are all over the place drunk. We dont want somewhere dead, but we would prefer somewhere more traditional. we like going for meals and a few drinks in the evening, so we want some kind of night life. Oh and nice beaches. thanks.

I have a family trip booked to Kos in July, for myself my partner, her two daughters and a friend. (so 3 girls, 15, 15 and 10) the 10 year old is quite disabled. She is a bit unsteady walking and is very obsessive in an autistic like way. We had booked the Aqua Club, but apparently it has gone out of business, so we have been moved to the "aegean view" It has very mixed reviews on trip advisor, but I think between the lines it will probably suit us (I am a bit wary about reviews from people I have not seen posting here or there as well). we do wnat to try and get to see some of the island. All the girls will be happy on a nice beach, and wil tolerate some sightseeing, in short bursts. I think we will need to hire a car to do any sightseeing, as any kind of queuing is a bit of a problem for the little one. Anyhting with animals works well. as does anyhting where she can get wet (and not drown).. so.. any ideas.. and where to look for car hire.. and any commenst about the hotel itself. Thanks.
