Travel Weekly Article:  “Kos still a Greek Favourite” by Nick Easen

In March this year, Travel weekly published a review of Kos, and included an “Inside Track” list of recommendations for your visit.

I’ve edited Nick’s list to places to highlight the relevant “inside track” information for those of you who are planning on taking a day trip from the Bodrum Peninsula, and I’ve also added some external links to find out more information:

Inside track

• Embros Thermes Beach south of Kos Town also has a sea pool with natural hot springs that reach 47C, which creates a Jacuzzi effect.
• Paradise Beach is also known as Bubble Beach, due to volcanic gases that rise from the seabed.
• The most popular beaches are the most commercialised on the east coast, and the sandiest are in the south.
• The unspoilt rural village of Zia is renowned for its romantic sunsets, locally-produced honey, olive oil and dried herbs. Reserve a table at Oromedon restaurant in advance to ensure you get the best view.
• August 15 is the busiest time of the year as it’s the biggest festival of the Greek Orthodox calendar, the name day of Saint Maria.
