A Guide to Kos Town Holidays

Exciting Lambi Beach

Exciting Lambi Beach

Kos Town holidays are all about family fun, and there’s plenty of that to be had at the nearby Lambi Beach! About 10 minutes out of town, this kilometre-long stretch of soft golden sand with a bit of shingle is a must-go for anyone looking for that extra thrill. This uber family-friendly beach offers everything from white knuckle windsurfing and jet-skiing to serene paragliding and pedalo boats. You may even get free sun loungers and bar service if you pay a few euros to access the parts of the beach that are exclusive to the surrounding hotels! It’s well worth a ten-minute journey.

Back In Time At Casa Romana

Back In Time At Casa Romana

Tap into the kids’ imaginations (and impress their history teachers) when you book one of our Kos Town holidays. Pay a visit to the stunningly restored 3rd century Casa Romana and time-hop all the way back to see how ruling Romans lived in luxury. Set around three beautiful courtyards, you can look on in awe at 36 incredibly decorated rooms filled with mosaics, frescoes, sculptures and paintings. It costs under 3 euros to explore this historical monument, and the villa is open every day except Monday.
