This is the most common tour, either you book the slower ferry boat or the fast Hydrofoil, by the slow clearance at the Bodrum passport control, oth of the boats arrive at the same time in Cos.
Another point, you start at 9 AM and about 10 or 10:30 AM you are in Cos (50% of the shops in Cos close for lunch) and about 4 PM you have to be back for the return.
Day trip to this birthplace of Hippocrates will add color to your holidays and with the Hydrofoil you are there in about 20 minutes, with the ferry in about 60 minutes. Many traces of its ancient past are here, like the tree of Hippocrates (center of town) and the Asklepeion of Hippocrates (bit out of town). Do your shopping before the Greeks have their Siesta (most of the facilities are closed then). Keep that in mind as well, as you are planning your trip on a Sunday. Kos itself is a nice and tidy Greek town. |
