Tilos isn’t your typical Greek island; whilst more prominent islands such as Rhodes and Mykonos rely on a frenetic nightlife to attract tourists, Tilos adopts a different approach. A huge variety of wildlife dominates the island, creating an ecological haven for the animals – the island’s mayor actively prevented mass tourism to allow the wildlife to flourish. Arguably Europe’s most impressive display of flora and fauna decorates the glorious natural environment, maintained by the recently implemented law to grant the land an EU-registered Special Protection Area. After failing to compete with neighbouring islands in regards to mass tourism, Tilos has focused its efforts onto cementing a constant stream of visitors that will likely return to the idyllic surroundings. After viewing the magnificent nature reserve, plenty of verdant fields and undulating mountains provide the perfect setting for a challenging walk across the rocky terrain. Embark on a stroll across the rugged landscape, stopping at the perfect looking spots to snap an enviable photo to share with your friends and family. A brisk walk can work up quite an appetite, luckily there are plenty of welcoming tavernas and restaurants serving delicious seafood fresh from the waters.
A bus service operates across Tilos, covering the paved streets and notable areas. Motorcycle and car rental companies are also readily available.
One of the most notoriously popular islands in Greece, Kos rests on the Aegean Sea among many other small islands. Kos boasts stunning beaches, both busy and secluded, rugged coastlines and delicious authentic Greek restaurants, however, it has become most well-known to the public for its intense nightlife. Millions of young holidaymakers from around the globe, but typically Europe, flock there for the constant parties, cheap alcohol and budget accommodation. Away from the party strip, Kos does have more serene areas that will be of great interest to visitors who enjoy cultural and historical landmarks. There are several remains of Greek ruins dotted around the island, as well as highly regarded museums surrounded by lush greenery – a free and relaxing way to spend the day. In the evening there are plenty of restaurants along the beach offering delicious food next to the peaceful sounds of the ocean. In and around the port area are several travel offices and sales reps trying to promote their daily excursions. For those wishing to try their hand at jet-skiing or riding a speedboat it provides a convenient way to organise the holiday. For visitors hoping for peace and quiet, the port is probably best to be avoided. Ferry routes from the port head all over the country of Greece, including the capital city of Athens, which may offer a pleasant change of pace. There are also crossings to popular island groups and Bodrum in Turkey.
