What to expect

With some of the highlights of Kos wrapped up in one day out, this adults-only tour showcases the variety of the island. Together with your guide you'll explore Kos town, the Asclepeion ancient site and the village of Zia. A visit to a wine factory and a viewpoint round off the day. Sophia, one of our expert local guides, says "the Asclepeion of Kos was dedicated to Asclepius, the Greek god of healing and medicine, and it was known as a healing sanctuary in ancient times. The peaceful surroundings and the extensive gardens were soothing for patients."

Start off with a guided visit to Kos town and its eye-catching harbour with bobbing boats lined up. Next, step back in time at ancient Asclepeion, which remains one of Greece's most important archaeological sites. Here, you'll have free time to explore and imagine Hippocrates, who was born on the island of Kos, undergoing his medical education at the Asclepeion. Among the attractions are the remains of the world's first hospital, where doctors learned about medicine from Hippocrates, and studied how to treat disease.

You'll also visit the mountain village of Zia, which sprawls beneath Mount Dikaios and is best known for traditional architecture and wonderful views of the coast. After lunch in a typical restaurant, it's on to taste local wine at a wine factory, and honey in a honey factory. Then, at the end of the excursion, you have the chance to capture amazing photos at Kefalos village at the south part of the island.

Whizz, swirl, whoosh and fly your way down flumes and super-fast slides on a family fun day out at one of Greece's largest waterparks – Lido.

There's adrenaline-fuelled slides such as Kamikaze and Space Bowl, as well as multi-lane slides where you'll race to be the first to hit the bottom. Then there're twisting flumes and giant waves in the wave pool.But if you're after something a bit more laid-back, you also have the lazy river, whirlpool bath and sunbeds on hand. Little ones are well catered for, too, with an interactive slide and splash zone especially designed for kids.
