A guide to nightlife in Kos
Whether you’re looking for a wild night out on the town or want to go for a few quiet drinks in a taverna, there’s a spot for you to enjoy during holidays to Kos. The evening entertainment at the smaller resorts is all about the hotels, whereas slightly larger resorts will have Greek tavernas and bars situated around the seaside. But if you’re looking for somewhere to get down on the dancefloor, you should head to the capital of Kos Town or Kardamena. Kos Town’s two main pub streets, Nafklirou and Diakon, are where all the bars and clubs are located. Kardamena is known as Kos’ party capital and tourists from all over flock to ‘Bar Street’ to get the party started.

There’s even a Latin themed night where you can break out your salsa dancing moves.
