Despite being smaller than some of its Greek cousins, Kos holidays will see you spoilt for choice. Catching the fancy of families and group holidays looking to go abroad, the affordable accommodation and poolside apartments make it one of the most celebrated islands in the Aegan Sea.

There are two sides to every story, and the same can be said for Kos. There's the shy, retiring side where the quieter resorts of Marmari and Tingaki serve up soft silk-like beaches and warm shallow waters that are ideal for children, and then there's the side that never sleeps where the beach fronted destinations of Kos Town and Kardamena have DJ's and dancing on the menu every night of the week. The capital of Kos Town follows a similar divide and while the old quarter will entice you with its Byzantine churches, old open square and the Castle of the Knights of St John's, the new town is where you'll find the largest selection of bars, restaurants and shops on the island. If you want to escape the bustling streets why not explore your residence for the week on horseback or bike? There's even the option to visit the neighbouring island of Rhodes via boat so if you've ever wondered what island hopping is like, this is the time to try it.
