Squeezed in between the ancient ruins left behind by the Greek, Roman and Byzantine eras, Kos town's harbour is fronted by an outstanding medieval castle. The island's capital is both stylish and atmospheric, and comes alive after dark. You'll be picked up at your hotel and dropped off in Kos town, where you'll have an evening to explore its lively old town and harbour area at your own pace.
Fringed by cafés and beautiful boats, you could watch the sun dip down at a harbour-side bar and then enjoy dinner in one of the town's eateries – there's everything from traditional tavernas to contemporary restaurants to choose from.
Or why not wander through the streets of the old town, lined with pretty lanterns and colourful bougainvillea. You'll have plenty of time to explore under your own steam and browse the boutiques and gift shops that stay open late.
