Kos is one of my favourite islands. Great beaches, food, an archaeological site, an interesting town with a castle as well as many bars and night life of all kinds. i am not the clubbing type, so I don't go to Kardamena for example, but there is something for all tastes. I also enjoyed horse riding there. And did I mention the food? And the beaches....
