Things to see and do with kids in Kos

Kos has more than just a good clubbing and nice beaches, catering to family tourism and giving children on holiday in Kos plenty of reason to be happy.

The warm Aegean Sea is perfect for water sports: waterskiing, jet skiing, and parasailing are ideal for adventurous adults while pedalos and banana boats are popular with older children. Kos is known as having some of the best sandy, golden beaches in Greece, including Kefalos, Kardamena, and Lambi, so pack the bucket and spade and let the little ones build sandcastles, but don't forget the hats and sunscreen! For more adventurous children, hiking on the mountain of Dikaios is a must, while the more relaxed option of biking around the towns is a safe and scenic way to see Kos's local life.
