Transport
Le centre ville de Kos est très joli mais nous avions demandé un guide que nous n'avons pas eu, nous avions demandé la langue anglaise, le français n'étant pas proposé. Arrivés au port, un guide TUI était présent mais pour un groupe polonais. Il a refusé de nous prendre en charge et nous devions nous débrouiller tout seuls. Prise en charge lamentable, à déconseiller fortement ! Attente ++++ du bateau à l'aller ainsi qu'au retour.. une demi journée à attendre.....
Just across the water from Turkey is the Greek island of Kos. Known for its beautiful sandy beaches and classical antiquities, a catamaran or ferry ride will take you to its capital, Kos town, where you'll have the day to explore on your own.
Prepare to be charmed by the town, where ancient and modern sit side by side. Dip into the shops and boutiques in the streets behind the harbour or sip coffees in the square, admiring the huge plane tree – it's said that Hippocrates held lessons under it 2,400 years ago. And admire the sea views from the battlements of the 15th-century Knights' fortress. History lovers will also want to see nearby Asklepieion. One of Greece's most important classical sites, its marble temples mark where the world's first hospital once stood.
Or if you fancy some R&R, take your pick of the town's beaches. Its shores are laced with sandy sweeps perfect for getting in some sunbathing and swimming before your ride back. And remember, you'll need to cross the borders — sometimes with lengthy security and passport checks — between Turkey and Greece in this tour, so a valid passport or photo ID is needed.
