Vacation prices
The approximate cost of a vacation for two in Kos can be calculated in advance. First of all, it is visas and air tickets - on average, you should focus on 500-600 EUR. The second and most important item of expenses is the hotel accommodation. The minimum amount per night in a 2-3 star hotel is 40-50 EUR (to stay within this amount, book a room several months in advance), a room for two in a hotel near the beach is about 100 EUR.
Thirdly, consider the cost of food. A vacation in Kos is not possible without hearty meals in local tavernas! In an expensive restaurant, a three-course dinner for two and dessert will cost around 50 EUR (including alcohol). To save money, go to inexpensive cafes - a portion of Greek salad in Kos costs about 4 EUR, a plate of moussaka 6-7 EUR, roasted lamb (kleftiko) 8 EUR.
Average price of homemade wine (what a vacation in Kos without wine!) - from 5 EUR per liter, coffee can be had for 1-2 EUR. In total, a hearty lunch for two will cost a maximum of 20 EUR. Souvenirs and gifts are another item of expenditure during a vacation in Kos, according to reviews.
We recommend replacing traditional magnets with jars of tomato jam, starfish, packets of cumin or a head of Possa goat cheese - a maximum of 50 EUR for the whole vacation.
A little tip: the further away from the coast a store or souvenir store is located, the lower the prices will be. And if you're buying several items from the same vendor, feel free to call yourself a wholesaler and ask for a discount - you can bargain down to 20% of the price.
