Full description

Explore the attractive island of Kos and admire white sandy beaches, crystal-clear water and idyllic mountain villages.

Start above the city of Kos and visit Asklepieion. It is reported that the origins of this former temple date back to around the 4th century BC. The former temple consists of three levels and was once the place for the foundation stone of modern medicine, because there Hippocrates wrote the oath of the same name, which has survived to this day. Drive on to the small village of Antimachia and see an old windmill and a traditional farmhouse. Continue through olive groves and unspoilt countryside to the Kefalos peninsula. Admire the island's most beautiful beaches.
You will enjoy a traditional lunch to Mastichari with sandy beaches & traditional restaurants, here you will have time to swim and have lunch (not included in the price) or lunch (not included in the price) to Zia depending on the route.

Another highlight of the eventful day is a visit to the typical mountain village of Zia with its old houses on the slope of the imposing Dikeos mountain. Stroll through the small alleys and get to know the tranquil way of life of the Greeks. Discover the numerous spice stands and taste the typical cinnamon water.
