Kos Yacht Charters – Things to Do & See

Asklepieion : Dating back to the third century BC, the Asklepieion is an ancient medical center that was built after the passing of the famous Greek doctor, Hippocrates, as an homage to Asklepios – the god of health and medicine. With religion at the core of its purpose, this hospital was home to a sanctuary for doctors and patients alike to pray; and every physician who worked there was also a priest. Boasting a relaxed, optimistic vibe and ruins of some of the island’s most sacred temples, the Asklepieion sits atop a lush hill, overlooking incomparable views of the village of Kos below.

Mastichari Beach : With its soft, white sands, tree-lined shores, and shimmering emerald waters, Mastichari Beach has become a popular haunt for locals and visitors alike in search of an exotic locale with a serene vibe. Dotted with vibrant lounge chairs and umbrellas, and surrounded by delightful cafes and local fish houses, Mastichari Beach embraces both the island’s traditional and cosmopolitan side. This beach is also home to ruins of an old, Christian Basilica, noticed for its colorful, tiled mosaic floor.

Hippocrates Plane Tree : The ancient Greek physician, Hippocrates – an important part of the history of Kos – was once said to have taught his students under this sacred tree. Located on the pebbled Plateia Platanou, this tree is appreciated for its unique history and longevity. Though not expected to live longer than 200 years, this particular plane tree is one of Europe’s oldest; supported, today, by scaffolding to preserve its ancient past.

Zia : A quaint village on the slopes of Mountain Dikeos, the idyllic Zia is hidden amidst verdant forests and natural, flowing streams. Overlooking picturesque views of the island of Kos below, Zia is home to ancient churches, delicious local taverns, and familiar streets lined with boutiques and bars filled with tourists looking for a taste of the whimsical Greek island life. For the best view of the sunset over the Aegean Sea, head due north to Zia’s towering mountain; it’s the highest point on the entire island.

Kefalos : The first capital of Kos, Kefalos, is a magical village sitting atop the island’s rolling hills – known for its narrow streets, ancient ruins, beautiful sea views and historic, Grecian homes. Boasting a celestial cove bordered by a collection of beautiful beaches, like San Beach, Laggades, and the appropriately named Paradise Beach, Kefalos invites travelers to explore its natural wonder, discover its touches of history, and of course, anchor in its perfect waters.

Guide to Kos

Home of Hippocrates - Kos’ healing powers live on

As one of the better known islands in, Kos hasn’t avoided the traps of tourism but it’s best and most beautiful charms can only be enjoyed by those lucky enough to be on board a superyacht.

Kos is within the Dodecanese islands in Greece and follows the popular island of Rhodes when it comes to size and visitors. This does mean that the summer months can become crowded amongst the hotels and resorts but if you’re travelling in the luxury of a charter yacht , you’re free to enjoy some of the finest beaches in the region along its coast on your own terms.

When heading inland on Kos, make sure to spend some time taking a tour of the vineyards. With its rich, fertile soil the island has the perfect environment for agriculture and is proud of its winemaking history that dates back to Ancient Greece. Today you can enjoy a variety of tours and tastings whilst soaking up the beautiful scenery, some of the best of which can be found in the vineyards if Chantziemmanouil, Mores and Triantafyllopoulos.

The buzzing Mediterranean harbour town of Kos Town is also worth exploring on the island. Although well-known for its lively bars, restaurants and nightclubs, here you’ll find winding cobbled streets as well as important historical ruins such as the Ancient Agora and the tree of Hippocrates - the Greek father of medicine who called the island home. Of course you won’t be able to miss Kos Town’s crowning glory which is the magnificent medieval castle of which the fortress guards the entrance to the harbour.

While the north of Kos has found its place as a tourist hub, the southern coast still remains largely undeveloped and largely inaccessible unless you are travelling by sea. Here you can enjoy the best beaches on the ascend, with a five mile stretch of sand divided into havens with names like Paradise Beach and Magic Beach to choose from. Beyond the beaches, a must-see place to visit and enjoy while in Kos is its thermal springs. Around 10km from Kos Town in Agios Fokas, these pools of hot waters surrounded by boulders contain minerals said to have healing properties - a perfect way to relax after a hard day at sea.

In order to find out more regarding the cruising grounds of Kos, be sure to get in touch with your preferred charter broker after taking a look at all of the superyachts available for charter in Greece .

A brief introduction to Kos

The Greek island of Kos belongs to the Dodecanese island chain, located in the south-eastern Aegean Sea. Kos has 112 km of coastline and is the third-largest Dodecanese island, after Rhodes and Karpathos. The island is located between Kalymnos and Nisyros, just 10 NM south of the Turkish coastline. 

The island’s capital is the town of Kos, located on the northern coast of the island. The island has a long history, with the first mention of it dating back to Homer’s Iliad. Impressive landmarks and archaeological findings attest to the rich and prosperous past, mainly due to its silk trading past. The strategic location of the island, close to Anatolia, ensured the island remained a vital foothold in the Aegean Sea throughout its history. Over that time it was ruled by the ancient Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Ottomans and the Italians before it finally became a part of Greece following the Second World War. 

Why you should choose a Kos sailing holiday

Today, the island of Kos is a popular destination and the second most visited Dodecanese island after Rhodes. Visiting the island, you will be greeted by lush vegetation and spectacular beaches touching the clear, turquoise sea. On Kos you can have both an active vacation - enjoying numerous watersport activities, and a more relaxed one - exploring the rich culture and history of Kos.  

If you are more drawn to cultural side then you can visit local museums and historical landmarks like the imposing Castle of the Knights of Saint John, located in Kos town. If on the other hand you want a more active break, then you can explore the many bike paths found across the island. These have also meant Kos is unofficially know as “the island of bicycles”. Equally you could take advantage of the perfect surfing conditions, that make Kos a favourite destination for windsurfers and kitesurfers from all over Europe. As a result, you can find several surfing centres located across the island.

Being a popular tourist destination, Kos also offers an abundance of cafes, restaurants and nightclubs, perfect for late-night entertainment. 

The best time to sail in Kos

If you wish to enjoy swimming and other water-based activities, a visit during the summer is the best time for a sailing holiday around the island. The sea around Kos is crystal clear, and the sea temperatures can reach up to 25°C at the height of summer, making it ideal for families with children. Those that wish to have a more culture-orientated holiday and avoid the summer heats should consider visiting in May or September when there are fewer crowds as well.  

What to expect from Kos sailing conditions

Sailing the Dodecanese islands can be a bit more challenging and unpredictable due to the strong winds present in the area. During the summer, the prevailing wind is a north-western wind blowing down the Turkish coast. Another wind present during the summer is the strong Meltemi wind, blowing from the north. Nights around Kos are usually calm, with only a light breeze blowing, before they pick up again in the morning.

Having a typically warm Mediterranean climate, Kos sees plenty of sunshine and warm weather, especially in the summer. Temperatures reach above 20°C as early as April and continue rising until they exceed 30°C during July and August.

Our favourite areas of Kos to explore

Kos has been inhabited since prehistoric times, with the settlements of Kos, Kefalos, Kardamena, Antimachia, Pyli dating back to antiquity. Newer settlements like Tigaki, Marmari, Mastichari have sprawled on the northern side of the island. Located in the interior of the island, towards Mount Dikaios, areas of Zia, Asfendiou and Zipari attract visitors with their splendid natural beauty. 

Kos town is the capital of the island and the most important settlement on the island. Here you will be greeted with a mixture of various architectural styles influenced by the past rulers of the island. Kos is filled with ancient landmarks like the Ancient Agora, Medieval fortifications like the Castle of the Knights of Saint John and museums like the Archaeological Museum of Kos, testifying to the impressive history of the island. The town also boasts a rich nightlife with a wide selection of cafes, taverns, restaurants and shops located in pedestrian areas. 

• Tigaki - located west of Kos town, is a popular holiday destination for both locals and foreigners alike. Here you will find an impressive range of choices in accommodation, dining and entertainment. Visit the nearby protected area of Alikes, the most important wetlands in the Dodecanese.
• Marmari - located on the island’s north shore and just west of Tigaki, is a small and peaceful settlement, attracting visitors looking for a quiet summer vacation. Here you can enjoy water activities on a beautiful sandy beach, sample traditional Greek food in local tavernas and shop for some souvenirs. 
• Mastichari - is a popular fishing village on the northern coast and the second-largest harbour on the island of Kos. Mastichari is the ideal place to visit some of the seaside taverns and sample the fresh daily catch of the local fisherman. Mastichari is also a great base for exploring the nearby islands of Kalymnos, Pserimos and Leros.
• Asfendiou - located 14km southwest of Kos town, is an area sprawling across the foothills of Mount Dikeos. Here you will find numerous stone towers and churches, testaments to the rich history and unwavering faith of the locals. The Asfendiou area consists of several districts like Asomatos, Lagoudi and Chaichoutes - also known as Agios Dimitrios, named after the local church. 
• Zia - found on the southern slopes of Mount Dikeos, is the perfect location for viewing spectacular sunsets and offers stunning views of the nearby islands of Kalymnos and Pserimos as well as the Turkish coast. During the summer, Zia is full of wandering visitors, looking to taste local delicacies, purchase unique local products and souvenirs and stroll through the cobblestone alleyways up to its crystal-clear freshwater springs, like Kefalovrisi.
• Kefalos - the village of Kefalos was built on the site of the island’s older capital city, Astypalea, and it consists of two areas: the settlement on top of a hill that has a central square and a mill, and the seaside area known as “Kamari”, full of restaurants and accommodations. Some of the impressive archaeological landmarks in Kefalos include the Castle of the Knights and the churches in the area of Agios Stefanos. Here you will find stunning beaches and crystal-clear turquoise sea, offering a variety of water sports.
• Kardamena - a former fishing village and a popular resort today. It was established in 1865 on the ruins of the ancient city of Alasarna and its Hellenistic temple of Apollo. Its small harbour, whose surrounding cliffs act as natural wave breakers, is a convenient departure point for visits to the neighbouring island of Nisyros. From here, one can take a boat to visit the hot springs of Agia Irini, famed for their therapeutic healing properties.

Kos sailing marinas to dock your yacht

Kos Marina, opened in 2001, is located just a 10-minute walk away from Kos town, next to the old harbour. This popular marina offers 250 berths with mooring lines, water supply, electricity and telephone connection. There is also a dry storage area equiped with 150 dry berths. Kos marina can accommodate vessels up to 80 m in length with a draft of up to 5 m. A breakwater, located on the eastern side of the marina, offers adequate protection.

There are no other marinas on the island of Kos, but mooring is possible in other places like the Kamari port in the bay of Kefalos, the port of Kardamena, and the Mastichari port on the northern coast of Kos.

Charming places to anchor around Kos

• Kamari - located on the southern coast of Kos, in the Kamari Bay, the village is perfect for exploring this side of the island. The seabed is sandy with good holding and depths varying from 3 m to 10 m. Here you will be well-protected from northern winds but more exposed to the southern ones. 
• Tigani - is located on the southern coast of the island, just north of Kamari. Anchoring here, you will find a sandy seabed with good holding. Depth is between 5 m and 7 m with a bit of a swell. Tigani offers good protection from the Meltemi winds.
• Kefalos - anchoring near Kefalos, you will find a sandy and muddy seabed, offering good holding and depths around 3 m. The area offers good protection from all but southern winds. The nearby coast offers plenty of restaurants and entertainment. 
• Kardamena - is a popular tourist destination, full of stunning sandy beaches. Anchoring in front of the Kardamena beach, you will find a sandy bottom with depths of around 3 m and good holding. You will be protected from northern and western winds here.

Typical Kos yacht charter prices

Weekly charter prices on Kos are similar to those in the rest of Greece and can differ significantly, depending on several key factors. The primary influence on the price is the time of year you wish to charter, with the prices increasing as you approach the high season during the summer. Another parameter that can have a significant impact on the final cost of your charter is the type of boat you plan to charter. Sailboats are usually the cheapest options, with catamarans and motor yachts charters more expensive in general. If you plan carefully and book your charter months in advance however, you can get a considerable discount, so explore your options thoroughly before deciding.   

Starting price for chartering a sailboat for up to six people on the island of Kos outside the high season is around €1,000 per week. Approaching the months of July and August, the charter price for the same boat can double. Starting prices for catamarans and motorboats are higher, starting from around €2,000 per week, outside the high season. 

Due to the strong winds, sailing the Aegean Sea can prove to be challenging so hiring a local skipper, which will cost you around €200 per day, is recommended for less experienced sailing enthusiasts and required for those without a license.  

Getting to Kos

The easiest and fastest way to reach the island is by flying to the Kos International Airport, located 24km away from Kos town. There are domestic flights all year round mainly from Athens, with frequent flights from Thessaloniki, Rhodes, Heraklion and Astypalea as well. During summer, at the peak of the tourist season, flights from several European countries are also available. Flying from Athens to Kos will take around 1 hour.

Upon your arrival at Kos Airport, there are several options for further transfer around the island, including renting a car, taking a taxi or the local bus line.

Kos can also be easily reached by ferry from Piraeus port near Athens, with four available departures each week. However, due to the distance between Kos and Piraeus, the trip takes around 11 hours. Kos is also connected by ferry with Rhodes, Patmos, Leros, and Kalymnos with the ferry route between the closest island of Patmos taking around 2 hours. There are also ferry routes connecting Kos with the Turkish coastal town of Bodrum.

Yacht Charter Kos

Kos, the capital and main port of Kos Island, is on the north-east coast very close to the Turkish coast. It is a beautiful city, lush and green with palm lined beaches, a mountainous backdrop and interesting archeological sites from the Hellenistic and Roman periods. There are some particularly good mosaics to be found as well as some early Christian churches with impressive frescoes.

This busy tourist centre also offers a lively nightlife and good culinary scene and is one of the main charter bases in the Aegean; an excellent base for a sailing holiday around the Dodecanses island complex. Kos island, birthplace of Hippocrates and site of one of the first hospitals at Asklepion, is the third largest island in the Dodecanese and there are excellent sailing opportunities around the island and further afield. Leros, Kalymnos and Patmos are to the north and Tilos, Rhodes , Symi and Karpathos are to the south, plus thousands of smaller islands, islets and rocky outcrops.

Walking distance from the historic Kos Old Town is the full-service Kos Marina. From here you can sail to the lesser known islands of the Dodecanese that are hard to reach without a yacht.

Kos has an international airport; about 23 km away that services many Greek and European cities. Ferries run between Kos and the port of Piraeus all year round. Both high speed and conventional ferries that carry vehicles run this route. There are also passenger ferries from neighbouring islands and also from Turkey.

Sailing conditions

Kos is an excellent sailing destination for bareboat yacht charter . Sailors wanting guaranteed wind and longer passages will enjoy the sailing between the unspoilt and varied Dodecanese islands. The prevailing 'Meltemi' wind blows all summer from the NW. Force 4 to 6, offering exhilarating sailing. It can reach Force 7 and sometimes blows for days.

A prize to past conquerors, a boon to travellers who want more than a beach holiday.

On the edge of the Dodecanese, Kos is a feast of emotion, experience and excitement. Chicken soup for the soul, the body and the eye. Tall palm trees, endless sandy beaches, alternating landscapes and layers of archaeological sites and attractions left by ancient Greeks, Romans, mediaeval knights, Venetians and Ottomans make Kos – or Cos as it is also spelt – more than just a pretty face. Hippocrates, antiquity’s most noted physician (he of the oath), was born here, on one of the most visited islands of Dodecanese. Whichever you choose of the aliases Kos has gone by – Meropi, Nymphaia or Karys – this fascinating island in the Aegean will engrave itself into your holiday diary.

What to do in Kos

Hippocrates’ Asclepeion, a holistic healing centre Just 4km northwest of the town of Kos, on a verdant hill with a spectacular view, you’ll discover one of Greece’s most important archaeological sites, the Asclepeion. A holistic healing centre, it contained infirmaries, temples, hot springs, hostels, a school for physicians and much more. In the 3rd and 2nd century B.C., the Asclepeion of Kos became the third most important institution of its kind in the ancient world, following guidelines set down by native son Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine. It’s worth making time in your holiday itinerary to visit it.

A young city with a rich history Following a major earthquake in 1933, the town of Kos was redesigned by the reigning Italians with large squares, sidewalks and wide tree-lined streets, flanked by modern buildings with shops, cafes and restaurants. That said, history buffs will love this place.

What other modern town can claim so many attractions: the Nerantzia Castle of the Knights of Saint John, late 14th-century walls hastily erected to keep out Sultan Bayezit I, an ancient Greek agora, a mediaeval district, an old harbour, and Roman ruins in the west? Don’t forget to pay your respects to Hippocrates’ huge plane tree – 12m in circumference – which, legend says, was planted by the doctor himself.

Beaches that go on forever Got your tape measure? Almost every beach on Kos is a kilometre long. You’ll probably give first place to Kardamena beach, with its glorious scenery and deep blue water but don’t miss Mastihari, Tigkaki, Marmari, Chrysi Akti, Kefalos and Paradise.

Antimacheia castle and the power of a few In June 1457, this castle was besieged by 16,000 Ottomans. Just 15 knights and 200 locals were left to defend it, but they held out for 23 days and the Ottomans eventually withdrew. Built by the Knights of Saint John in the 14th century, it is now a peaceful but impressive ruin.

Hidden gems of Kos

A verdant hideaway for peacocks Kos is an island full of surprises. Planted by Italians in the 1940s, the woods at Plaka, near Antimacheia, have become a sanctuary for peacocks and other birds. Carry some seeds to offer and they’ll be eating out of your hand.

Thermal springs at the edge of the Aegean Alone of the Dodecanese islands, Kos has three different kinds of mineral water springs: hot, warm and cool. You’ll find them at Agios Fokas, Piso Thermes, Kokkinonero and Volkanous. The names themselves carry meaning: Rear Hots and Redwater are the middle two while the last needs no translation.

The Archaeological Museum of Kos You’ll find the museum in Eleftheria Square in town. A larger-than-life head of the goddess Hera greets you in the vestibule while impressive statues and mosaics await within.

A big island, 45kms long by 11kms wide, Kos has some 115kms of coastline – most of which is sandy beach washed by warm clear waters. For the most part it’s a place to kick-back and chill out and simply live like a Greek for a while. That said, the island has history and culture dating back over 5,000 years and was the home of Hippocrates – the father of modern medicine – who had his healing centre, the Asklepion here. You see where he taught and there are Greek and Roman ruins to view.

If you’re not sailing, it’s an easy place to get to. You can fly direct or get the liner down from Athens. Perhaps due to this the main harbour at Kos town, at the north-east corner of the island, has become something of a party place, popular with the young, with bustling clubs and loud music in what is known as ‘Bar Street’. It’s also popular with cyclists.

Elsewhere it’s altogether quieter. Along the north coast you’ll find a choice of moorings with a real Greek ambience in places like Mastihari, Marmari and Tigaki. This is the area to come for authentic fresh fish, ouzo, souvlaki and octopus.

Kos is pretty much at the centre of the Dodecanese. So you have Kalymnos and Leros to the north and Nisiros, Tilos and Rhodes in the south. It’s also an ideal jumping-off point to the amazing town of Bodrum in Turkey.

Our recommendation: If you’re island-hopping cruising in the Dodecanese and looking for a party, you’ll find one in Kos Town. If you want to explore the Dodecanese using the local island ferries it’s a great place to start and end your voyage of exploration.
