If you identify yourself as a farm-lover, constantly
looking for “farm-to-table” experiences, why not
add a wine tasting, or a visit to sample some of the

Island has won you over - yet we are still in for a
treat! Kos dishes, always offered with a generous
dose of genuine Greek hospitality, are prepared
using the precious treasures of the Kos land,
generously offered by the fertile soils and rich
Aegean Sea. The island’s rich volcanic soil and its
Mediterranean climate have contributed to the
creation of several products of high nutritional
value and the production of a few, but unique,
indigenous varieties of wine which are the perfect
match for earthy, delicious delights.
The gastronomic tradition of Kos has been
shaped by many cultures and civilisations over
the centuries. Ottoman and Italian influences
are mixed with Aegean recipes, resulting in a
truly inspired version of the Greek cuisine which
remains, to the day, true to the island’s identity,
traditions and, most importantly, its people.
Whether you’re looking for relaxation or adrenaline,
whether you’re a beach or mountain lover, whether
you wish to lose yourself in the modern reality or
look for what the eons have crafted in this part
of the Aegean, Kos is a rare artefact meant to
stun those in love with the art of traveling. Lean
in and listen to the whispers of an island that’s
