Of all the Greek islands, cheap holidays on Kos are perhaps the most spectacular. Greek holidays on the island of Kos offer plenty to do and see, and have attracted visitors for many years. In this brief article we’ll take a look at some of the attractions Kos has to offer, for a variety of age groups, as well as what separates it from the other Greek islands.

The main town on the island is also named Kos, and is the cultural hub of the island. It features lots of hotels, restaurants, nightclubs, and other venues one might expect from a large town, though Kos Town contains only roughly fifteen thousand people. There is a fourteenth century castle as well, built by the Knights of Saint John of Rhodes. Holidays in Kos are often spent absorbing the rich culture left here by settlers as early as the 11^th century, BC. Whitewashed buildings and ancient structures form a sort of medley of new and old seen best in places like the Kos Islands Greece.

Cheap holidays in Kos also generally include a tour of the Plane Tree of Hippocrates, a dream temple in the centre of town where the famous physician was said to have taught. This temple is actually an ancient tree, which is now largely held up by scaffolding because of its age.

There are a number of interesting ruins around the city as well, such as Asklepieion, where Herodicus reportedly taught Hippocrates about medicine.
