Sunlit beaches, ancient ruins, and easy island living - Kos blends history, nature, and laid-back Greek charm.
Ikos Aria is a stunning, all-inclusive beachfront retreat in Kos, where exceptional food, relaxed family moments, and wide-open Aegean views beckon you to unwind.
Kos is one of Greece’s most accessible and easy-going islands, known for its long sandy beaches, rich history, and relaxed atmosphere. Part of the Dodecanese island group, it combines ancient landmarks with modern resorts, making it ideal for both first-time visitors and seasoned island lovers.
The island is compact and wonderfully flat, perfect for exploring by bike or scooter. From historic Kos Town to peaceful villages and quiet coves, Kos offers a balanced blend of culture, coastline, and sunshine, all at a gentle, unhurried pace.
Begin in Kos Town, where ancient ruins sit alongside lively waterfront cafes. Visit the Asklepion, one of the most important archaeological sites in Greece, or explore the medieval Castle of the Knights guarding the harbour.
Beach lovers are spoilt for choice, from the popular shores of Marmari and Tigaki to quieter spots along the island’s south coast. Cycle the coastal paths, take a boat trip to nearby islands like Nisyros, or unwind in one of Kos’s natural thermal springs for a truly restorative experience.
Kos enjoys a classic Mediterranean climate with long, hot summers and mild winters. From June to September, temperatures regularly reach 28–32°C, cooled by refreshing Aegean breezes - ideal for beach days and outdoor dining.
Spring and autumn are particularly pleasant, with warm seas, fewer crowds, and daytime temperatures in the low to mid-20s°C. Winters are mild and quieter, making Kos a peaceful off-season escape with plenty of sunshine.
