In antiquity the Agora (=market) of each city was its commercial and social center. The Ancient Agora of Kos is one of the largest markets that have been excavated so far in Greece. It was built in the 4th century B.C. at a short distance from the harbor. When the main town of Kos was recognized as an important administrative center (after 366 B.C.), important administrative buildings and temples were also built in the area of the port. The Agora was the 'heart' and financial center of the island with streets, shops, workshops and altars.

In the Natural Park of Zia, you can walk on the cobblestone paths among the trees and breathe fresh air. You can also observe animals and plants in their natural environment. In the park you will also find a Snack Bar with a playground for children and binoculars, placed at the best spots, which offer a more detailed view of the island. If you are tired after your walk you can rest in the hammocks available to the visitors of the park. All guests are welcome to feed the animals in their premises or the peacocks that walk freely around the park.

The wetland of Psalidi is formed by two streams that flow into the coast of Psalidi forming a coastal wetland. It is 85-100 acres long and is connected to the sea through a channel that has been created with soil and vegetation. It is located very close to the main town of Kos, about 4 km to the east. During the Italian occupation, the wetland functioned as a salt lake for the production of salt. Its rich fauna includes turtles, herons and flamingos. The wetland is a wildlife sanctuary and is protected by laws (SPA - GR4210027).

This is probably the most isolated beach of Kos as it is “hidden” at the south end of the island, about half an hour from the village of Kefalos. It is a mesmerizing place, with crystal clear waters and fine golden sand; an ideal place for those who want to enjoy a relaxing and quiet day. Part of it is organized, but there is enough space for those wishing to put their towel on the sand and enjoy the sun. To get there you need to follow the path that starts behind Kefalos village.

Marmari beach is sandy with a lovely blue sea. There are sun loungers and umbrellas for those who want to avoid the sun, but you can also find parts where you can just put your towel on the sand and enjoy a quiet day on the beach. At Marmari Beach you can do water sports (it is ideal for Kite Surfing), enjoy a drink or a meal at one of the bars or restaurants or explore the small port of the area.

It is located 15 kilometers west of the main town of Kos. It is accessible by car, motorcycle, taxi or bus.
