Kos is nice for a short, relaxed holiday, but Crete offers a full experience and something for every type of traveler. Both are fantastic places, however Crete has her amazing Gorges.

Which island is better, Rhodes or Kos? Rhodes is better for big-ticket sightseeing (the UNESCO-listed Medieval City), varied landscapes, and a broader itinerary. Kos is better for a quieter, resort-style beach trip and for quick ferry access to Bodrum, Turkey.

Budget Kos also boasts a variety of cheap local tavernas and eateries where tourists can savor delicious Greek food without breaking the bank. Kos Island has become a highly affordable destination for travellers who want to get away from town into the Mediterranean sun.
