Most visitors' first experience of Kos is its small and
antiquated airport situated on the south coast, a few miles west of
Kardamena. The island is 25 miles (40km) long and only around five
miles (8 km) across and is fairly easy to get around. Most people
use the local buses, which link the main resorts and Kos Town,
leaving every couple of hours. Taxis are also available and cars
can be hired for those wanting to explore the quieter northern
beaches. Ferries to Crete, Rhodes and Turkey are on offer, leaving
from Kos Town.
