Our guide Costa, was excellent. He is a credit to not only this tour but to his country, which he is truly passionate about. His knowledge of the island past and present was great. The tour was so informative and the places visited were a great highlight of the island. Food at Zia was lovely, a note to make is the stop at Zia is approx 1hr 30 mins, so plenty of time for a nice lunch and at Asclepieion they have free toilets.

It was a great day. Our guide, Costa, was excellent! Knowledgeable, intelligent, humorous. The stops were at interesting and historic areas, plus the little village where we had lunch was in a lovely scenic spot. Excellent day trip around Kos.
