    Enjoyed exploring the site, lots of columns and great views from the top of the site. The site would benefit from more information about what you are looking at

    What an amazing experience!! The staff were so so wonderful & knowledgeable. The scenery was flawless & the wine was incredible.

    I want with my partner for my birthday & we had such a beautiful afternoon. We chose the wine & cheese taster which was magnificent.

    The host was so welcoming & went through the cheeses & wines with us. The view was absolutely Devine. We honestly loved the whole experience. The wine is incredible too.

    Stayed at Lambi. It's approx 1/2 hour walk into Kos. There is a bus service but it's every 3/4 yo an hour service .
    Coming out of Kos on the bus was hectic. You can get a taxi for about 8 euros.
    Kos is very busy. Lots of restaurants and bars. Many boat trips.

    Well worth a visit. The area under the theatre has been restored really well. Lots of photos and information on the history.
    Also worth visiting the ruined city on the opposite side of the road.

    When I saw the entrance I couldn’t imagine there was a very big museum inside,This was an old house of a rich Roman Family,you can see that the house is really well preserved and organized. The officer at the museum was very polite and helpful, and as a tour guide I was both surprised and delighted by how knowledgeable he was.This is the best museum in town,you must see⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    lots of shops and restaurants and not too pricy.
    loads of boats for trips.
    you can see lots of ruins for free but to be honest they should charge a bit so someone could just go around emptying bins and having a clean up.
    so much rubbish around which is very sad, and everything is left to overgrow.

    Had never heard of it before we went to Kos. Apparently it’s quite famous - It’s a tree (fenced off) Nothing spectacular, but if you like a not particularly impressive fenced off tree, then this is the attraction for you. There were loads of people taking photos of it. But, at the end of the day….. it’s a tree!

    Absolutely beautiful. Breakfast with a view of boats and islands and stunning crystal blue waters. There was four of us and for 4 breakfasts, orange juices and a coffee and a water each it was so reasonable and affordable. Fab treat to ourselves at the end of our holiday. Peaceful place to relax and dine or go for a stroll either at the evening or during the day.

    Interesting collections amd some beautiful examples of sculpture, pottery, gold work and jewellery. Enjoyed the afterlife gallery most of all - lots to learn about there.

    Overall the interpretation is a bit text-heavy and even as someone who works in Museums I was flagging a bit by the end.

    As per previous review about the Casa Romana, it would have been nice if the statues discovered there could have stayed at that site.

    Other reviews have complained about the entry fee, but knowing how much museums cost to run and how much conservation management costs, I didn't find the fee excessive.

    This is a fascinating site with so much to see and explore; from the incredibly well preserved remains of mosaic floors, to the carved compass points we discovered around the site, the marble steps, and excellent architectural features - this place is vast and we really enjoyed exploring.

    The only downside is the amount of litter - it is such a huge shame that so many people don't respect historical sites like this.

    Don't let that put you off though - getting up close to this Roman heritage is a must.

    Pretty cathedral, which is worth popping into if you are in the area. You can light candles inside the cathedral or in a separate chapel opposite the front door.
