- Escape the crowds and have a break from the beach in Plaka Forest. Located at the heart of Kos, it’s a lush nature reserve home to fragrant pine trees, tiny terrapins and wild peacocks.

- Did you know Kos was once scattered with windmills? Nowadays, Antimachia Windmill is the only working one left. Visit the centuries-old structure and sample delicious baked goods made using flour ground by the mill.
