Full Description

A day trip from Didim to Kos via Bodrum

Cross the Aegean and spend the day your way

The journey starts with a road transfer from Didim to Bodrum, where you board the international ferry. As the boat pulls away, the Bodrum coast gives way to open water before the harbour of Kos comes into view. Once ashore, you set your own pace. The port is close to the town centre, so it is easy to start your day on foot.

A walk through the history of Kos Town

The Hippocrates Plane Tree, the Ancient Agora and Neratzia Castle are close to one another by the harbour. Begin in the square where the tree stands and continue towards the Agora to see remains of the ancient town. The castle’s walls face the harbour entrance, where you can see how the fortress overlooks the approach from the sea.

From the Old Town to the waterfront

The streets inland from the harbour lead to the Old Town. Take a break at a waterfront café, or look for a taverna in the streets around the centre if you would like a longer lunch. The waterfront is a good choice if you want to stay close to the port and leave enough time to return before check-in.

A stop at Eleftherias Square

Walk inland to Eleftherias Square, where the Archaeological Museum offers a closer look at finds from the island. The square makes a convenient landmark if you want to explore the surrounding lanes before turning back towards the harbour. If you plan to visit the museum, check opening hours for the day of your trip.

Beyond the town centre

The Asklepion, the island’s ancient healing sanctuary, lies outside the town centre. Its hillside terraces and temple remains offer a different view of Kos. If you want to go, factor in local transport in both directions and check the site’s opening hours. You can also see the Bodrum to Kos ferry day trip if you plan to start the day in Bodrum.
