Cronache di Kos
Kos, a Dodecanese island in the Aegean Sea, has a rich history dating back to the 11th century BC, when it was a major city-state in the ancient Greek world. The city's strategic location made it a prized possession for various empires, including the Romans, the Knights of St John, and the Ottomans. The medieval castle, a 14th-century fortress built by the Knights of St John, dominates the city's skyline and houses the Archaeological Museum. Today, Kos is a popular tourist destination, attracting visitors with its beautiful beaches, vibrant nightlife, and well-preserved ancient ruins, including the Asklepieion, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The city's cultural identity is a unique blend of Greek and Italian influences, reflecting its complex history.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Kos Palace, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request rooms on higher floors (4th floor onwards) as these are less likely to be affected by street noise from the main road. The hotel's lift is located at the end of the building, so rooms closer to the lift, such as those on the 4th floor, may experience some vibration. Consider rooms at the back of the building to minimize noise from the lift.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms near the lift, particularly at lower floors (1st-3rd floor), as they may experience more vibration and noise from the lift. Additionally, rooms near the service entrance may be subject to occasional noise from staff and deliveries.
Best views
The best views are likely to be from rooms at the front of the building, which face the sea. However, this may also mean they are more prone to street noise.
Quietest floors
The 4th floor and above are likely to be the quietest, as they are further away from the main road and lift.
🔊 Noise notes
As the hotel is located in the town of Kos, there may be some noise from the main road, particularly during peak season. The hotel's proximity to the sea means that rooms on the front side may also be subject to sea breeze noise.

Principali attrazioni a Kos
💡 Don't bother with the overpriced tourist shops around it. Instead, grab a coffee from the nearby café on Plateia Platanou and sit on the steps watching the locals walk by.
💡 The castle grounds are free to enter but the interior isn't. Go at sunset for the best light, and climb the short ramp just inside the main gate for a panoramic photo without the ticket.
💡 Visit early morning before the heat and crowds. The shaded paths near the plane trees give you clear views of the mosaic floors without paying for the adjacent museum.
💡 If you're here the first Sunday, arrive just before 10:00 when it opens — it's small and fills up fast. The garden courtyard has nice shade and a few benches. Otherwise, the museum is not worth the full price unless you're very keen.
💡 Take the local bus from Kos Town central station (€1.80, runs every 30 mins) to Marmari village, then walk 15 mins north. Bring your own food and water — the tavernas are 10 mins inland.
