財産 — Golden Star
The Golden Star is a dependable 3-star on Kos’s central beach strip, with a tidy pool and a bar that serves frappé from 8am. Rooms are basic but clean, with sea-facing balconies if you book a front-side room. It suits couples or solo travellers who want a simple beach base without frills, and don’t mind older furniture. Standing in the lobby you’ll smell sun cream and hear Greek pop radio from the kitchen.
Kosの歴史
Kos Town’s history stretches back to the 4th century BC, when Hippocrates taught here. The Knights of St John rebuilt the harbour fort in the 15th century, and a devastating 1933 earthquake levelled much of the old town, which was then reconstructed in a rationalist Italian colonial style. Today the city mixes ancient ruins like the Asklepieion with lively waterfront tavernas and a working fishing harbour. Its identity is firmly tourist-oriented but retains a lived-in Greek island character, especially away from the main seafront.

- New direct flights from Manchester and Birmingham started May 2026, adding extra seats in peak summer.
- Kos Airport is under runway resurfacing until September, so expect up to 30-minute departure delays.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Golden Star, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 2nd or 3rd floor facing the inner courtyard (away from the street). These rooms get more sunlight and less foot traffic noise from the lobby and reception.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid street-facing rooms on the ground or 1st floor. Kos's main road runs along the address, and noise from scooters, delivery trucks, and late-night foot traffic is constant until midnight.
Best views
Upper-floor rooms (2nd/3rd) looking over the inner courtyard or side streets offer a view of Kos's low-rise rooftops and the distant sea glint. Street-facing rooms see a busy one-way road with cafes and shops.
Quietest floors
2nd and 3rd floors — well above street level and away from ground-floor public areas. The 3rd floor is the quietest due to limited overhead noise.
🔊 Noise notes
Street noise is the main issue: scooter and moped traffic from the main road, plus delivery vans early morning (6–7am). The hotel's ground-floor bar can be audible until 11pm on weekends. No significant air-conditioning unit noise reported.
Insider tips
1. Ask at check-in for a top-floor courtyard room — they're allocated first-come, first-served and are quieter. 2. If you're a light sleeper, pack earplugs; the street-facing rooms are unavoidable on the lower floors if the hotel is full.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Visa and Mastercard widely accepted in hotels, restaurants and supermarkets; contactless works almost everywhere; American Express is rarely taken.
Rounding up the bill or leaving 5-10% in restaurants is appreciated but not expected. Tipping taxi drivers is not standard; leave a euro or two for hotel cleaners.
食事、ショッピング、旅行 予算
Cheap car hire →A standard freddo cappuccino or Nescafe frappe costs around €3-3.50 in any cafe; avoid the main square for pricier options.
A pita gyros from a takeaway shop runs €3-3.50; a sit-down meal at a taverna for a main is around €8-10.
A main course in a mid-range taverna costs €9-12; a meze-style dinner with wine for two can be €25-30.
Gyros and souvlaki pitas from takeaway joints along the main streets and harbour front are the standard cheap eats. Look for places with a busy grill.
Budget supermarket chains include Lidl and AB Vassilopoulos; also smaller local markets. Inland you'll find smaller mini-markets.
The main shopping street in Kos Town (around the port) has chain retailers like H&M and Zara, plus local boutiques. The market area near Eleftherias Square is cheaper for souvenirs and linen.
Local buses from Kos Town to major beaches cost €1.80-2.50 per ride (pay on board, cash). From Kos Airport, the KTEL bus to town is €2.50 – the cheapest option; a taxi is about €25.
Eat at tavernas a street or two back from the waterfront – same quality, lower prices. Buy water and snacks from supermarkets, not tourist shops. Use bus passes if staying over a week (available at the KTEL station).

Kosのトップ観光スポット
💡 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.
