Car Hire Kos - Resorts
Hire a car to explore the Beaches& Resorts of Kos
Kos’ truly captivating mix of beaches and resorts is easily vast enough to warrant a holiday extension, with its selection of wonderful getaway zones easily accessible by foot or by hire car. Combined with cafes and clubs that overlook the beautiful shoreline, it is easy to see why thousands of holiday-makers land in Kos every year purely for that much-needed relaxation upon its warm, golden sands.
With its satisfying Mediterranean climate, the island of Kos experiences dry and hot days often interrupted by refreshing breezes which prevents the heat from becoming overwhelming. It’s well worth considering air-conditioning in your hire car, as Kos weather can be extremely hot during July and August.
The months between May and October are the best time to visit Kos weather-wise, with rainfall at minimum levels and a temperature averaging at a tantalizing 29°C. For exploring the island in a more relaxed way by car, consider coming to the island in May June or September October and hire a car then.
Some of Kos’ most acclaimed beaches are located near the town of Kefalos – tranquil sands that shimmer almost as much as the deep blue azure that laps at their edges. These are the beaches accessible by hire car are most associated with sun-bathing, tanning and relaxation – with many beautiful people heading there during the summer months to perfect their tans.
Paradise Beach’s shallow waters are often broken by bubbles of volcanic gases that rise up from the sea bed – earning it international exposure as well as the endearing name ‘the Bubble Beach.’ Adrenaline-junkies should head to the north coast, where the windswept beaches of Tingaki and Marmari are especially popular with surfers, windsurfers and kite-surfers. Again to fully get to see all the beaches on Kos, you’ll need a hire car for some of your stay. Marmari beach also has an exclusive area reserved for nudists.
Children will love the Lido Water Park – also found on the north coast – with its crazy combination of heart-stopping giant slides and wave pools, not to mention bars, entertainment and in-house themed restaurants. The good use of a day car hire would be beaches in the morning followed by water park in the afternoon. Parents – if your not too busy careering down waterslides – should visit the highly acclaimed Elixir Thalasso Spa, which offers all manner of soothing treatments and remains one of Greece’s top spa complexes. Again a hire car is essential, although a taxi can be arranged from your hotel.
More and more holiday-makers make the journey to Kos every year in search of the world’s best beaches – and are left completely spoilt for choice upon arrival. Take the opportunity to sample some of the planet’s finest sands by getting a car hire on Kos, before unwinding at one of the island’s activity resorts, many of which are only a short drive by car from the beaches.
