Thanks for Sharing your informative Video Ian it was really helpful as I am looking forward to going to Kardamena with my Wife in 4 weeks 🇬🇷 for our 1st time 👍
Great video. Lots of information. And great links. Super helpful. Thank you. Would be good to add a map to your video while you speak of beaches and stuff. I’ve never been to Kos before, so had to keep pausing your video to google maps the areas you were talking about.
Sarah, thank you so much for you lovely comment. It's interesting what you say about providing a map when talking about beaches etc, as I'm thinking of doing this with the next beginner's guide... Rhodes. I wasn't really sure at first, but it's great that someone else has thought of it. Thank you again 😀👍😎
Earlier on in the video I do mention the area. The problem is that there's at least 21 great beaches, and if I was to mention them all, the video would just take to long. So, I had to make a decision.
Thank you for a very informative film. I am going to Kardemena tomorrow for ten days with my 13 year old daughter. Are there water sports there for her? Any restaurant recommendations? What is cost of beer, for dad?
Thanks for your comment Tony. Yes, there are two watersports places there which will have everything she needs. As for places to eat there are absolutely loads. Obviously it depends on what you both like so I can't really give you specifics. But some advice is: eat where locals are eating, if they try to coax you in just forget it, make sure they take cards as well as cash. Please don't worry with that, it's what I always use whenever I'm im Greece. You are going to love Kardamena, so both of you have a great time. 👍😀
Yes it is. For October you're looking at an average temperature of 22 degrees Celcius during the day. As for the water temperature, that's going to be an average of 21 to 24. As a matter of fact, early next week I'll be putting out the first of a two-part complete guide to the must-visit beaches on Kos. It will cover everything most will need to know including: where they are, how to get to them by car and bus, parking and if it's free, what's the beach and the water like, is there watersports, can you rent boats, places to eat, and other great things to do close-by.
Hi there just seen your video very informative. I am looking at flying my drone in kos to catch the scenery is there any restrictions or information you good give? Regards Martin
Hi Martin, I'm glad you found the video informative. In terms of using a drone in Greece, there's generally less restrications that in the UK. However, this depends on the weight etc. So, try this link which should answer all your questions. It's the one I use when I use them. uavcoach.com/drone-laws-in-greece/
Great video, We are thinking of going to Kardamena in September, As my wife suffers with Trigeminal Neuralgia I was hoping if you could tell me if it gets very windy on Kos which would be no good at all for her or is it a really calm wind free island.
Hi Mark, and thanks for the comment. As Kos is an island and with Kardamena being on the coast, it would certainly have wind. But, as to how much would not be suitable for your wife I have absolutely no idea. This coupled with the fact I'm not a medical practitioner, I can't really say or give advice. Sory I can't be of any help.
Hi Mark. To be he honest I think "windy" is a subjective term 👍 But, it's not as windy as Rhodes or the north coast of Crete. However, I do understand this really doesn't answer your question. After looking on the internet, I've found a few sites which go into a lot of detail of daily/weekly/monthly etc wind measurements on the island which would give you a historic picture over the years. Give them a go and hopefully this will help a lot more than I can with my vague answers. 👍
@@GoExploreGreece you're welcome, I'm going on the 30th July and I've never been to Greece before. I'm nervous but so excited. Getting public transport in different countries can be difficult and sometimes scary
Wherever it is you're going, I'm sure you're really going to enjoy it. Getting public transport in any country can be a little scary, but it can also be fun. Have a wonderful time 😀👍
Yes you can. There's a bus stop about 40-60 metres just outside the terminal. Any employee will be able to point you in the direction. You can buy tickets from the driver. The schedule varies but as a guide: 07:55 , 09:30 , 10:00 , 11:40 , 14:10 , 15:35 , 17:40 , 18:35 , 19:50 , 00:15. Often there's a schedule posted in the airport or information desk may have one.
@@GoExploreGreece I am English and retired here.When you visit again speak to the locals and they will help you. That is how I learned how t speak Greek.

How come you missed to mention Mastichari (the beach), we have been going there for 25 years and the village and beach are wonderful.

How is the weather in october, is it still warm / hot enough then to swim And sun bathing?
Yes it is. For October you're looking at an average temperature of 22 degrees Celcius during the day. As for the water temperature, that's going to be an average of 21 to 24.

Thanks very much for replying I was more interested into the fact as to whether Kos gets very windy or is Kos a very calm island

@@GoExploreGreece Thankyou very much 👍
You're welcome Mark. 😀👍
Can you do a video on how buses work? For example, can I get on the bus from kefalos to Kos town but get off at one of the towns inbetween?
That's not a bad idea at all. I'll have to have a think on how to do that and then see how it could be filmed and then presented. Thanks for that.

Also very helpful video 👍🏼

I have lived on Kos for 19 years, Please check how you pronounce Greek names.
Sorry about that. I'm not Greek and I do try as best as I can.

Thank you for that advice. 👍
