The security check is also quite folkloric, each time they detect a bottle in your luggage, they want to see what it is… On the other end, on the way back, I forgot my Swiss knife in my hand luggage!! I only noticed it once I had passed the first check at Kos. I was quite annoyed; I have this knife for 20 years and it now has some sentimental value. I would have hated to leave it in an airport! However, even in Athens, they haven’t detected anything suspect!! I doubt I could have hijacked the plane with such a knife but it was definitely better than the small scissor a friend had to leave at the airport!!
Kos airport is about 20-30km from the city. To go there, you don’t have too much choice; either you take a bus or a taxi… Since it was quite challenging to find the bus schedule, we finally took a taxi: about 20-25€ to the new Marina… Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

We flew into Athens and then took a smaller plane to get to Kos. You may want to consider flying into Turkey and boating to Kos. Kos is pretty far from Athens and very close to Turkey. You can actaully see Turkey from Kos. It may save some money and time! Theme: Airplane

The various beach resorts and villages on Kos are connected with Kos Town by a fairly frequent bus network.
The main bus station is located in Kos Town (behind the Post Office) and a bus timetable can be found there. You can also visit the tourist information office in Kos Town to pick up a paper copy of the bus timetable.
While there might be several buses a day between Kos Town and a given village, it is generally the case that these buses are not spread out equally throughout the day. Instead, there will tend to be one or two buses in the morning (at 8 or 9 am), maybe an early afternoon bus (at say 2pm) and then a late afternoon bus (eg. 5pm) and an evening bus (eg 7 or 8pm).
The following details were correct as at May 2006:

 boat to Kos by sandysmith
Ticket price was 40 euros return - it was cheaper to buy from the harbour stalls at Mandraki harbour in Rhodes rather then the ticket office at Colona harbour. Theme: Ship/Boat

 Bike park at Kos Harbour by zizkov
Lots of cycle hire places. I hired mine from Ideal cycles just along from the Kypriotis, who must have had over a hundred cycles. Most bikes are step through 3-speed town cycles at around 4E per day, but I hired a 24 speed alu front susp MTB for 11E/2days. Most places also have little motos or full size motorbikes for hire.
I worried slightly when I arrived at Kos Town as there was nowhere to chain my bike to (essential measure back home). Then I realised that there were about 200 other bikes in the same situation. Just drop the kickstand and put the cable lock round the back wheel. Some people didn't ever bother with that.
All the bikes come with dynamos, so people still whiz about in the dark. It wasn't unusual to see family groups heading back from town, lights blazing, at 10 or 11 at night. Leave a Comment Theme: Bicycle

 bicycles for hire by sandysmith
The town is compact and bicycle hire was also popular - a better option I think, especially for the short ride out to Asklepieion.
Cost is about 3 euros per day for bicycle hire. Theme: Motorcycle
