No visit to Kos would be complete without a trip to the ancient and awesome site of Asklepieíon (pictured). A healing sanctuary dating from around the third century BC, it has well-preserved remains of temples dedicated to the gods Asklepios and Apollo, Roman baths and a chapel.

Head down to this lively beach bar and relax to the sounds of Greek bouzouki music. Thatched sun canopies and huge palm trees give the place lots of character. There's a play area for toddlers and a super cocktail menu for the grown-ups.
