Among the most popular bus trips from Kos are tours to nearby villages. For example, to the mountainous Zia, where you can buy local souvenirs and dine on the terrace of a tavern with a beautiful view of the sea. So-called Greek evenings are often held here - with folk dancing and rivers of wine!
From the port of Kos, you can take a speedboat to the island of Patmos - it is known as the Aegean Jerusalem. It was here, in a monastery, that John the Theologian lived in exile - you can visit the sacral cave where the Book of the Apocalypse was created! Or, for example, to the island of Rhodes (the Old Town here is recognized by UNESCO as the most beautiful city in Europe!) or even to Bodrum in Turkey (just 40 minutes - and you can see one of the wonders of the world, the Mausoleum of Halikarnas).
Very popular among tourists tours from Kos on gastronomic topics. For example, tours to wineries, private factories for making olive oil or thyme honey. Sybaritism can be combined with shopping - a Russian guide will take you on a tour of Kos shopping and tell you where to buy the best wines or other products.
The average cost of excursions in Kos is 30-45 EUR (for sightseeing tours around the island or sea trips to the nearest islands like Nisyros, Rodas, Patmus). Often this amount includes lunch - you should check with the organizers in advance. Tours usually start at 9:00-10:00 and end by 19:00. Tours can be booked with one of the local companies or directly at the port of Kos.
