What to expect

On this half-day outing, you'll explore Kos town under your own steam. As the island's capital, it offers up plenty of stuff to see and do. You'll be picked up from your hotel and dropped off in the centre, where the time's all yours to do as you wish.

Many make a beeline for the port, which lined with cafés and tavernas is a great spot to soak in the town's atmosphere while nibbling on meze. At the far end of the harbour is the castle, which was built by the Knights of St John back in the 14th century. Elsewhere in the town, you've got the Roman Baths, the Odeon and Ancient Agora as well as the shop-and-bar-lined Eleftherias Square.

And the recently renovated Archaeological Museum is packed with classical relics such as sculptures and mosaics. And Hippocrates' Plane Tree is a great spot for selfie. There's also the pebbly beach – an ideal spot to relax after all that sightseeing. Your transfer back will be ready at 13:30.

    Travelled with a group of friends


    Der Transfer war pünktlich und der Fahrer freundlich. Es waren genug Sitzplätze vorhanden und der Fahrer ist sicher und gut gefahren. Es wurden viele Umwege zu Hotels gemacht, wodurch sich die Fahrtzeit verdoppelt hat. Das empfanden wir als sehr anstrengend, da keine Toilette und Verpflegung vorhanden war. Außerdem konnten wir in der App die Abfahrtzeit nirgendwo finden und mussten uns durchfragen. Es wurde ein Code für die POP Guide App versprochen, der nicht kam.

    Travelled as a couple


    Vorab wurde im Voucher darauf aufmerksam gemacht, dass man sich für ein besseres Erlebnis in der Stadt die App Pop Guide herunterladen soll, man bekommt dann kurz vorher einen Code um diese App als " Guide zu nutzen" leider haben wir diesen Code nicht bekommen. Vor Ort hat der Fahrer lediglich über die Abfahrtszeit informiert der Bus für die Rückfahrt hatte aber dann eine andere Nr .Hier wäre eine Informationen darüber sehr hilfreich gewesen .

    Es gab im Bus keine Zugangsdaten zu der empfohlenen App. Außerdem fahren alle Piratenschiffe große Tagestouren sodass man diese mir anschauen kann.

    Travelled with family


    Bei der Anreise wurde für die Rückfahrt eine andere Busnummer genannt. Kindersitze wären großartig. Sicherlich ein organisatorischer Aufwand, aber wenn etwas passiert, dann bringt es nichts das Kind auf dem Schoß sitzen zu haben. Wir mussten extra einen Kinderreisesitz durch Kos mitschleppen, was nicht sonderlich komfortabel war.

    Travelled with family


    Wir haben online gebucht aber weder per Email noch am/im Bus haben wir den QR Code für die PopGuide App erhalten. Demzufolge waren wir leider ohne Infos in Kos unterwegs. Sehr schade, dass hätten wir für 3,50€ pro Person mit den normalen Bus haben können.
