4★ Comfort in the Center, Explore on Foot, An Effortless Greek Escape

“A morning in the shadow of Hippocrates, a sunset in golden tones in Zia, and a long evening shared around Aegean tables…”

Sometimes a real holiday doesn’t require many days, but two days planned the right way. A comfortable hotel just a few steps from the port, historic streets explored on foot, the island rhythm blending with the scent of the sea, and sincere moments experienced in the evening accompanied by Greek melodies…

This program has been designed for you to experience the simple yet distinctive spirit of Kos in a complete way, with accommodation at the centrally located Kosta Palace 4★ Hotel, a guided walking city tour, a panoramic train tour, and a traditional Greek night experience in Zia.

On this island where history, Ottoman traces, and Italian architecture flow side by side; free exploration during the day, enjoyable dinners in the evening, and a hassle-free program await you at every moment.

Now we cross to the opposite shore of the Aegean and begin a small but full Greek story together.

TOUR PROGRAM

DAY 1: MARMARIS – TRANSFER TO BODRUM – BODRUM – KOS FERRY – WALKING CITY TOUR – ZIA VILLAGE & GREEK NIGHT

We meet at 05:30 in the morning at Marmaris Eşref Girginç Park and depart for Bodrum. After our journey, we arrive at Bodrum Ferry Port and complete our ticketing and passport procedures.

At 09:15 we depart with the Bodrum–Kos ferry and cross to the opposite shore of the Aegean. After approximately a one-hour sea journey, we arrive at Kos Port.

After customs and passport procedures, we meet our local agency representative who welcomes us. Since our hotel, Kosta Palace 4★, is within walking distance of the port, we reach the hotel with a short walk without waiting for a transfer. After leaving our luggage in the luggage room, we begin our first exploration of the program.

GUIDED WALKING TOUR OF KOS CITY

We step into the heart of Kos and discover its historical layers on foot.

• We stop under the Tree of Hippocrates. In the shade of this monumental tree, believed to be where Hippocrates—the father of medicine—taught his students, we feel the cultural spirit of the island.

• In the Port Square, we observe the daily life of Kos. We see the elegant architecture of Gazi Hasan Pasha Mosque and listen to the traces of the Roman and Hellenistic periods at the Ancient Agora just across from it.

• Passing through the Kos City Museum Square and the New Agora, we travel into the island’s recent history.

• We take a short photo break at the square where Defterdar Mosque is located.

During this walk, we listen to a multi-layered historical narration extending from ancient times to the Ottoman period, from Italian architecture to modern island life. We get to know the character of Kos closely and discover its small but rich past step by step. After the city tour, you will be given free time.

Guests who wish can take a coffee break around the port, while others may enjoy lunch at local tavernas. At the designated time we return to our hotel and check into our rooms.

EVENING | ZIA VILLAGE & GREEK NIGHT (INCLUDED)

In the evening, at the time announced by our guide, we depart from our hotel and head to Zia Village, one of the most special spots of Kos. This traditional village, located on the mountainside, hosts one of the most impressive views on the island.

First we see the historic church of the village, then take a short walk through the cobblestone streets. We have photo breaks accompanied by handicraft shops, small boutiques, and views overlooking the Aegean.

At sunset, as the sky turns into golden and orange tones, the Kos valley and the Aegean Sea stretch beneath our feet. This becomes one of the most unforgettable moments of the tour.

Then we proceed to Fantasia Restaurant where our Greek night event will take place. At this special restaurant overlooking the Aegean Sea and nearby islands, we enjoy a delightful evening with:

• Traditional Greek appetizers

• Local dishes

• Live music

• Professional Greek dance shows

Red/white wine and soft drinks are served unlimited during the evening.

As the rhythm of sirtaki rises, the entertainment grows and the Aegean evening transforms into a true Greek atmosphere. A warm, energetic, and unforgettable night awaits us.

At the end of the program, we return to our hotel and stay overnight at Kosta Palace Hotel.

DAY 2 RED / BLUE TRAIN TOUR – FREE TIME – KOS–BODRUM FERRY – BODRUM–MARMARIS TRANSFER

After breakfast, we complete our hotel check-out procedures and leave our luggage in the luggage room.

At the previously announced time, we meet our agency representative in the lobby and take a short walk to the center to experience one of the fun discoveries of Kos: the Red / Blue Train Tour.

During this enjoyable train tour, we discover the historical texture of Kos through a panoramic route. The train tour allows us to see some places that cannot easily be reached on foot. The narrow streets of Kos, stone buildings, and the city atmosphere intertwined with the sea are observed from a different perspective. It becomes a relaxed, entertaining, and photo-filled experience.

After the train tour, you will be given free time. Today the rhythm of the program is entirely yours. Guests who wish may:

• Walk along the harbor

• Take a coffee break at seaside cafés

• Shop at local stores

• Enjoy lunch with seafood and Greek appetizers

It becomes a great opportunity to feel the simple yet characteristic island spirit of Kos one last time.

At the designated time we meet our agency representative in the hotel lobby, collect our luggage, and walk to Kos Port which is within walking distance.

We board our Kos–Bodrum ferry departing at 18:00. After passport and customs procedures, our return journey to the opposite shore of the Aegean begins.

Upon arrival in Bodrum, we transfer to our waiting vehicle and depart for Marmaris. We drop you off at the points where we picked you up and bid farewell, hoping to meet again on another Koral Tourism journey.
