A day trip to Kos from Bodrum can be easily organised thanks to the daily ferry connections, and as the island has so much to offer it is definitely worthwhile. Cycle Turkey offers guided day tours on Kos, starting and ending in Bodrum. For these tours it is possible to choose between renting a hybrid bike or an e-bike.

Kos captivates with its diverse landscape: kilometres of sandy beaches alternate with rolling hills. Mediterranean plant life thrives near the coast and Lake Tingaki serves as a nesting place for many migratory birds. If you long for culture, Kos is the place to be. The most famous excavation site on the island is Asklepion, the sanctuary and sanatorium dedicated to Asclepius, the god of healing.

The minimum number of participants is 4. If the number of participants is not reached, 4 pax fee will be charged.
