It is home to just 35,000 people and has a coastline of 112 kilometres that is packed with beautiful sandy beaches. The capital of Kos is Kos Town and a popular destination for holidaymakers. It's a large seaside resort with bustling boulevards, shops, bars and discos. But there are also plenty of classical sights to admire, such as the ruins of Agora, the Temple of Heracles and the Castle of the Knights of the Order of St. John.
