As one of the few locations that can satisfy both bar-hoppers and nature lovers, the island of Kos, Greece is swarmed by tourists eager to experience its dizzying sights and sounds. Bar-hoppers can stay in Kos, which boasts a “barstreet” lined with hotels, clubs, and restaurants. The rest of the island, however, is lined with picturesque beaches that offer travelers a luxurious oasis of peace and quiet.
Kos is also rich with history. Not every island can claim to be the birthplace of Hippocrates, the father of medicine. At the center of town grows the 500-year-old Tree of Hippocrates, where the man himself supposedly taught. Aspiring doctors can also visit the International Hippocratic Institute. Other crowd-pleasers include the mountain village Zia. Though this destination is dotted with souvenir shops, the real attraction is the view. Those who arrive at sunrise or sunset are richly rewarded.
The island’s stunning scenery combined with its laid-back pace makes Kos the perfect vacation destination.
