Kos Superyacht Charter

Kos is one of the largest and most beautiful islands of the Dodecanese, a fertile and historic isle famous as the birthplace of Hippocrates, the father of medicine. Combining rich ancient history, long sandy beaches and clear turquoise water, it offers a rewarding and varied cruising destination in the southeastern Aegean.

The island is rich in antiquities, above all the Asklepion, an ancient healing sanctuary set on a hillside overlooking the sea, along with Roman ruins, a Crusader castle and a lively harbour town. Layers of Greek, Roman, Byzantine and Italian history give Kos remarkable depth and character.

Kos boasts some of the finest beaches in the Dodecanese, with long stretches of golden sand and clear, shallow water ideal for swimming and watersports. The surrounding coastline offers sheltered bays and easy access to neighbouring islands such as Nisyros, Kalymnos and Pserimos.

With its ancient sites, beautiful beaches and clear water, Kos is a rewarding and historic destination. Guests can explore its remarkable antiquities, relax on golden sands and enjoy the warm sunshine and clear seas of the southern Aegean.

Green and welcoming, with a relaxed atmosphere and a wealth of things to see, Kos rewards guests with an appealing blend of culture, beach life and easy island cruising.

Highlights

Kos Yacht Charter
Kos yacht charters offer the freedom to experience the destination on your own terms. Each itinerary can be shaped around the way you want to travel, with the flexibility to move between time on the water, moments ashore and the simple pleasure of life on board.
The Asklepion
The Asklepion was founded in the fourth century BC on a pine-covered hillside four kilometres from Kos Town, its three ascending terraces built to catch the sea breeze and views across to Turkey. Hippocrates, born on Kos around 460 BC, is thought to have trained here, and the site continued as a centre of healing for centuries after his death. German archaeologist Rudolf Herzog excavated the ruins in the early twentieth century, uncovering the temple foundations still visible today.

Sandy Beaches
Kos has some of the finest beaches in the Dodecanese, with long stretches of golden sand at Tigaki and Kardamena backed by dunes rather than the rocky coves typical further south. Kefalos Bay, at the island’s quieter western end, adds calmer, shallower water favoured by families. Together they give Kos a gentler, more open coastline than mountainous neighbours such as Symi or Halki, well suited to swimming straight off a tender.

Crusader Castle
Neratzia Castle, known locally as the Castle of the Knights, guards the harbour entrance and was built in stages by the Knights Hospitaller between the fourteenth and sixteenth centuries. A drawbridge once linked it to Kos Town, replaced today by a stone footbridge that passes beside the Plane Tree of Hippocrates. Its double ring of walls, thickened after repeated Ottoman sieges, reflects the island’s position on the front line of Rhodes’s Crusader defences.

Turquoise Waters
Clear turquoise water rings most of the island’s south coast, from Kefalos Bay to the sheltered shallows near Mastichari, warmed early in the season by the surrounding shallow seabed. Visibility regularly exceeds ten to fifteen metres off the quieter western beaches, well suited to snorkelling as well as swimming. The water stays calmer here than on Kos’s more exposed north coast, where the meltemi can raise a short chop in high summer.

Island Access
Neighbouring islands lie within easy reach of a Kos-based itinerary. Nisyros, an hour or so by boat, offers a still-active volcanic crater guests can walk right down into, its floor of sulphur vents and bubbling mud still warm underfoot. Kalymnos, Greece’s traditional sponge-diving island, and tiny Pserimos, with a single sandy beach and a handful of tavernas, both make rewarding day excursions without straying far from Kos’s own protected anchorages.

Kos Charter Guide

Everything you need to know before chartering a yacht in Kos, from the best time to visit to where to drop anchor.
When's the best time to charter around Kos?

May through October covers the main season, with July and August the hottest months and also the busiest for the meltemi along the island’s north coast. Kefalos Bay and the south coast stay more sheltered when the wind builds, making them useful fallback anchorages in high summer. June and September bring warm, swimmable water with noticeably quieter beaches and marinas.

How far is Kos Airport from the main harbour?

Kos International Airport, known as Hippocrates Airport (KGS), sits around 24 kilometres southwest of Kos Town near the village of Antimachia. It’s a drive of roughly 30 to 40 minutes along the Kos-Kefalos road. The island receives frequent seasonal flights from across Europe, making it one of the easier Dodecanese islands to join a charter from directly.

Which anchorage is best for a night at Kos?

Kamari Bay, near Kefalos, is a favourite for its clear, sheltered water and proximity to a handful of good tavernas ashore. Kardamena and Mastichari offer livelier alternatives closer to the island’s main resorts. In a strong meltemi, the south coast around Kefalos generally holds calmer water than anchorages further east toward Psalidi.

How many days should we plan for Kos?

Two to three nights allow time to see the Asklepion, wander Kos Town’s castle and old quarter, and still get out to a beach day at Kamari or Tigaki. As one of the larger, more accessible Dodecanese islands, Kos also works well as a base for day trips to Nisyros, Kalymnos or Pserimos.

What is the Plane Tree of Hippocrates?

It’s a huge, centuries-old plane tree standing beside Kos Town’s harbour castle, long associated with Hippocrates by local tradition, though the current tree is now generally dated to a few hundred rather than two and a half thousand years old. Its enormous, hollowed trunk is propped on stone and metal supports today. Whatever its exact age, it remains one of the most photographed spots in Kos Town.
