Newest Review: ... floor. After my first shower I realised this was needed because the whole of the floor gets flooded. The Anastasia aparthotel was situated on the outskirts of Kos town. It was just a short walk down into the town centre and the harbour. There are lots of bars and restaurants overlooking the harbour and along all the side streets. They serve Greek food and English food. The food is lovely and ... more

------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Last year I went on holiday to the Greek island of Kos, which is in the Aegean sea and is just off the coast of Turkey. I went with one friend and we stayed at the Anastasia Aparthotel in Kos town, which is the capital of Kos. We booked our 7 night bed and breakfast holiday with the tour operator First Choice. For an extra £10 each we were able to pre book our seats on the flight from Birmingham which gauranteed that we sat together. We arrived in Kos at 4.30 in the morning so we couldn't really see alot when being transferred from the airport to our ...

Last year we had a family holiday in Kos. There were six of us my wife and I, her parents and our two grown up children.

We later mentioned it to the wife`s parents who also thought it was a great deal. So the next morning there we were in the travel agents. Hoping that ...

Here is my travelogue of when I spent a week away in the Greek Island of Kos with my two best friends, Amy and Joanna. Day 1 - Thursday, 28/6/01 Arrived in Greece at 5:15am in the morning. Went and watched the Sun come up with Jo, very beautiful. Had to go to a rep meeting at twelve (noon!) with a VERY enthusiastic rep. Not the thing one wants when one is feeling like a dead slug! Had a swim in the pool which was very cold, but that is what you want when it is so hot. Slept through most of the afternoon so I had no idea how hot it got! Had a very nice meal at a restaurant about two hundred yards from the apartments. While we were eating a man came ...
