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.

Nisyros Guide

Nisyros Ferry Port

One of the many islands laying to the east of Greece, Nisyros is a volcanic island situated between the islands of Kos and Tilos. Blue Star Ferries and Dodekanisos Seaways provide several weekly crossings to neighbouring Greek Islands, ranging from forty-five minutes to over nine hours.

What is there to do in Nisyros?

When a breathtaking volcanic crater engulfs much of the centre of the island, everything else shifts to the side-lines on the itinerary of every tourist. Many visitors to the island of Nisyros only come on a day trip to witness the spectacular volcano, however, a few days can easily be whiled away whilst browsing the sleepy streets under the mellow sun. The main town of Mandraki is a stark contrast to its neighbouring island of Kos; the evenings are spent in cosy, charming restaurants or strolling along the beach. Surprisingly for a Greek island, there is an unusual absence of beaches around Nisyros, however, the striking hilltop villages and intriguing landscape more than make amends. Walking through the dusty streets and quaint buildings is especially pleasant in the summer; the sun shines off the brightly coloured houses and the cafes hum with summer energy.

How do visitors get around Nisyros?

Most of the island can be covered by foot or bicycle, there is an occasional bus service but it is probably best not to rely on it. Taxis are also available around the villages for quick and convenient transport.
