Kos Guide

Kos Ferry Port

One of the most notoriously popular islands in Greece, Kos rests on the Aegean Sea among many other small islands. Kos boasts stunning beaches, both busy and secluded, rugged coastlines and delicious authentic Greek restaurants, however, it has become most well-known to the public for its intense nightlife. Millions of young holidaymakers from around the globe, but typically Europe, flock there for the constant parties, cheap alcohol and budget accommodation. Away from the party strip, Kos does have more serene areas that will be of great interest to visitors who enjoy cultural and historical landmarks. There are several remains of Greek ruins dotted around the island, as well as highly regarded museums surrounded by lush greenery – a free and relaxing way to spend the day. In the evening there are plenty of restaurants along the beach offering delicious food next to the peaceful sounds of the ocean. In and around the port area are several travel offices and sales reps trying to promote their daily excursions. For those wishing to try their hand at jet-skiing or riding a speedboat it provides a convenient way to organise the holiday. For visitors hoping for peace and quiet, the port is probably best to be avoided. Ferry routes from the port head all over the country of Greece, including the capital city of Athens, which may offer a pleasant change of pace. There are also crossings to popular island groups and Bodrum in Turkey.


Naxos Guide

Naxos Ferry Port

Naxos is the largest of the Cyclades Island group in the Aegean Sea, an island group laying to the southeast of Greece. There are many ferry routes departing Naxos Port, the vast majority of the crossings head to other coastal resorts belonging to Greece and are supplied by a few companies.

What is there to do in Naxos?

Atmospheric streets filled with shops, restaurants and cobblestones – Naxos is a hub of tourism. Unlike many Greek holiday destinations, the island of Naxos doesn’t just rely on its warm climate and wonderful beaches to attract visitors, although many tourists could be excused an extended stay on the golden sands next to crystal waters. The island is inundated with historical sites, the most popular being the iconic 6th Century BC marble gate on the islet of Palatia in Naxos harbour. Other notable historical landmarks are the Church of Panagia Drossiani and the Venetian Museum. For a wealth of history and culture, the old town is the perfect place to spend a whole day exploring the unique buildings and quietly quaint streets. As well as the old town, Portara offers remarkable architecture that overlooks the sea and the town, making it the ideal spot for enviable photos.

How do visitors get around Naxos?

Walking is often considered the best form of transport around the town; there are also taxis readily available throughout Naxos, though it is advisable to negotiate a price before entry. Rental companies are dotted about the town, however, many have gained a reputation for being pushy and aggressive with tourists.
