The boho-chic Theros All Hotel is an adults-only paradise close to Kos Town.

The Best Hotels in Kos are mostly located in Kos Town or at the famous beach resorts of Tigari, Kardamena, or Mastichari, but there are nice hotels all over the island. Kos is one of the Greek islands with the best all-inclusive hotels, as it’s been heavily developed since the 70’s.

There are also some new hotels with incredible designs that stand out and will make an unforgettable stay. With its long sandy beaches and family-friendly hotels, Kos is also a great place for families with younger kids.

Kos is part of the Dodecanese group of islands in southeastern Greece. It is Rhodes’s little sister island, and it is also close to Turkey.

The island has some of Greece’s most impressive tourism infrastructure, even though it was hit by a few earthquakes in recent decades (nothing to worry about). The all-inclusive hotels in Kos are some of the most impressive in Greece, and their long beaches with golden sand are ideal for families and kids.

Kos island is quite far from Athens, and you can reach it by taking an overnight ferry from Piraeus (it takes 12-13 hours ) or (and easier), just take a direct 45-minute flight from Athens or a few European cities like London, Berlin, Paris, Hamburg, Amsterdam or even Milan. There is an international airport on Kos Island. Still, most international flights operate only between May and October for the summer (always check Ferryhopper for the latest ferry schedules and Booking.com Flights for the most up-to-date flights to Greek islands).

You need a car in Kos, as it’s a decent-sized island with many areas to see and explore. There are local buses, but you’ll be more flexible if you rent a car.

However, if you only plan to stay in your all-inclusive hotel just to soak up the Greek sun by the pool, there is no need for a car. You can always call a taxi if you only plan to visit Kos town or any other place on the island once.
