With 300 days of sunshine a year, it'd be rude not to sunbathe on the beaches of Kos. Paradise Beach is a highlight, since it has the kind of sun-kissed sand and crystalline waters you'd expect on a desert island. Added to that, this beach has an unusual trait: bubbles! A trademark of the volcanic energy beneath the ocean floor.

Medieval architecture and Venetian buildings sit alongside palm fringed promenades and a pretty harbour, all of which add to the ambience of Kos Town. Historical highlights include the 15th-century Castle of the Knights of Saint John, and the religious sanctuary Asklepieion, which was founded in the 3rd century BC and devoted to the god of healing, Asclepius.

Bodrum is known for its stunning beaches, turquoise waters, and fascinating historical sites. This ancient city is home to some of the most well-preserved monuments of the Hellenistic period, including the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Apart from its rich history and culture, Bodrum also boasts numerous restaurants, cafes, and bars that offer delicious food, refreshing drinks, and a vibrant nightlife.

The cobblestone square of Plateia Platanou is where you'll find Hippocrates' plane tree, where the 'Father of Medicine' reputedly taught his pupils. Plane trees don't live for more than 200 years, making this one of Europe's oldest. To preserve the tree, scaffolding is in place to keep Hippocrates' legacy alive and allow visitors to take shade under its historic branches.

Kardamaina was built in 1865, in the area of the ancient city of Alasarna by the inhabitants of Old Kardamena. Here you'll find ruins of a sanctuary dedicated to Apollo and Hercules, some traces of a temple of marble dating back to the 3rd century B.C., a theatre and a few constructions of the Roman era. The town used to be a fishing village but tourism now drives the economy. There are plenty of restaurants, cafés, bars. During the summer the crystal clear turquoise waters are nearly always calm as the North wind does not affect this part of the island.
