Rest on the island of Kos, somewhat different from recreation on other islands, not to mention continental Greece. Let's start with the fact that there is an international airport on the island. Charter flights fly to Kos from Moscow, St. Petersburg, Yekaterinburg, Samara and Kazan. Main airlines operating charter flights to Kos Islands Airport: Aegean Airlines, Ural Airlines, Transaero, Sky Express, Tatarstan, Kuban Airlines. But the main feature is that charter flights are made not on schedule, but as directions are filled. Charters in larger areas, as long as predictable, here it is likely to have time to settle the time of the voucher. And here you can and do not have time, no one complaints. Although, I did not hear such terrible stories. My wife and I rested in early September, when the "high season" was still in full swing. We flew to the airline Aegean Airlines airlines, and back without delay flights. Maybe we are just lucky. The horror stroke begins on. From October and May (approximately), you can only get to Spit while connecting flight, with a change in one of the airports of Continental Greece. Once, however, long ago, and not in this direction, I encountered this problem, then it was simple, not to avoid it. Remembering this, trying to avoid docking. While manages.
Airport "Hippocrat" is located in Antimakhia. From the capital of the island, the city of Kos, kilometers in twenty. This city, in principle, one who can wear the status of the city in our understanding. His population is about 15 thousand people, by challenges, it is a lot. For us, and the island itself, according to Russian standards, "not visible on the map." It is 45 kilometers long, width - from 2 to 11 kilometers. That is, soon step in two hours, you will move to the opposite from one shore. And the population of the island, equal to the population of several high-rise buildings of Moscow - 30,000 people. On the island, there is practically no mountains, so, the hills. The pride of the Kosteos is the "mountain" Diekos, height from Polkilometer. And also, the island is called the "island of hippocrat" or "the garden of the Aegean Sea". Why the garden is understandable, the island is all in greenery, olive plantations, fruit gardens. And just, wild greens. And whether Hippocrat lived here, the story is silent, and the guides shrug. On the island many hotels of any star. Who loves "civilization", it is better to stay at the hotels of the Spit itself and its surroundings. Here is more expensive, but also more interesting. Young people, quite, can find entertainment. Bars, nightclubs and discos, not much as in Rhodes, but also, quite enough. We set out away, you need to look for entertainment in hotels, or run to brass. It is not difficult, and not expensive, given the dimensions of the island. All villages, settlers, call, the hand does not rise, connected by bus routes. Question price - from 1.5 to 3E. It is possible and taxis. They pay in the counter, "tip" are not accepted here, it is not necessary to shy. Again, given the distance, astronomical sums, it does not "smell".
The safety of tourists on the island, at the height. I didn't hear about the theft in hotels, in our hotel the staff of the staff, mostly consisted of local. In the city of police in the form, almost won't meet. Very many vacationers with children, different ages.
Lovers like shopping, you need to know that the Greeks have such a thing as "Siesta" is a midday rest, which lasts from 13 to17 hours. All stores are followed. And in some and in general, Siesta begins at 13 o'clock, continues until the morning, that is, at 13 o'clock they are simply closed. Exceptions are, only large supermarkets working on a solid schedule, without Side.
So, rest on the spit, calm and leisurely, like the island itself. Many, who visited here, stop the choice of new places, and go here repeatedly.
