Visit the Greek island of Kos on an independent day trip from Bodrum, and enjoy a full day of free time to get to know its history and scenery! Bask on breathtaking beaches, shop for Greek island souvenirs or discover historical landmarks such as Kos’ 14th-century Castle of the Knights. Round-trip transport by hydrofoil is included, but all activities, entrance fees and food are at your own expense.
7 hr - Start your day with a hotel pickup from your Bodrum hotel, and then board your hydrofoil in Bodrum to cruise southwest to the island of Kos, roughly twenty minutes away. The most easterly Greek island, Kos sits adrift in the southeastern Aegean Sea and boasts paradisaical scenery and history in equal measures. After docking at the port, how you spend your time on the gorgeous island is up to you. All entrance fees, food and drinks are at your own expense. Follow the footsteps of sun worshipers to the island’s best beaches and enjoy a day of soaking up the sun on the sand. Visit Paradise Beach for soft sand and calm waters, relax in tranquil seclusion at Limnionas Beach or maybe stroll along the pebbled shores of Agios Theologos Beach. If you are keen to discover the island’s urban delights, head into Kos town to explore its palm-fringed streets, thronged with restaurants, bars and shops. The town is home to some of the island’s more interesting historical landmarks and Roman ruins. Perhaps pay a visit to the Castle of the Knights (Kos Nerantzia Castle), to explore the ruined towers, battlements and ramparts that date to the days of the knights’ reign. The group of Christian crusaders occupied the city from the 14th century for some 200 years. Having enjoyed your day, make your own way back to the island’s port at the prearranged time. Then, simply re-board your hydrofoil, and cruise back over the sea to Bodrum. Your independent day trip then finishes with a drop-off at your Bodrum hotel.
For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.
Very impressed Collected at our hotel ina mini bus and dropped of at the pier. Took 25 minutes on the hydrofoil to get to Kos. We had about 6 hours to explore this beautiful place before returning home. Would definitely recommend
The city of Kos isn't very interesting. There is unnecessary to use the colorful tourist train 'cause just 2-3 places deserves to be watched/visited. The beach is good.
This is a great tour, but expensive one as some friends book similar tour with much cheaper prize from bodrum port travel agent. As this is an independent tour, the driver just took us to the port, in the border between bodrum and greece and we should explore ourselves. But all the important tourism attractions are closed by the greece port and easily reached in walking distance, eg, the castle, hippocratoes tree, the cathedral etc. Make sure, we know where will be going, as I passed the hippocrates tree many times, but did not notice any board explaining this tree. I found the tree after the third/fourth times passing. Local people are helpful to show the direction. We dont need any tour guide to explore the attractions! Overall, it is an easy booking!
The best part of the tour was the organized pick up and drop off-saved us a lot of hassle and confusion. Of course there is no tour per se, since you are on your own but the small difference in what you pay for this tour and doing it totally by yourself i.e., with no pick up and drop off is well worth it.
The trip itself was great, we enjoyed Kos Town, however, organisation at both Bodrum and Kos ports in respect of immigration was incredibly chaotic both ways, there was a totally unmanaged crowd of people not knowing where to line up or which direction to go in, we would have made a second trip during our two week stay in Bodrum, however, the chaos at both ports put us off!
