You’re never too far from the action with Kos Town on your doorstep and a whole host of delectable restaurants and cosy cocktail hideaways at your fingertips. But the real adventure lies with one of the many excursions in Kos from hiking mountain tops to day trips to Turkey and beyond.

Salt Lake Stables

Whether you’re a first-timer or an avid rider, Salt Lake Stables will provide you with an unforgettable day. Gallop along the beach and amidst the water for as little as €25, and if you’re lucky enough you’ll just catch the sunset during this excursion. Spend two hours making your way through the colossal sand dunes and Salt Lake lands, or for tiny tots there’s 15 and 30-minute pony rides for as little as €10.

Sunrise rides are a must, leave the stables in the dark and ride through the dawn. You’ll then stop for breakfast while admiring your epic surroundings. Moonlight options are also available depending on the moon cycles.

Cruise the surrounding islands

Looking for something different? For roughly €30 you can spend the day hopping from one archipelago to another. Start your journey at Kos Town before sailing abandoned islets around the Aegean. Welcomed with a glass of Ouzo, the local aniseed spirit, enjoy a relaxing day in the sun. Expect cosy mattresses on the sundeck for ultimate comfort, barbecued meats for lunch, Mythos on tap and Greek dancing for entertainment.

Don’t take your eyes off the water, after all you might spot a few dolphins along the way. Stop in tranquil bays and dive deep into the underwater tropics for a snorkeling adventure like no other. The whole trip is roughly eight hours.
