A Buggy Good Time
Last year, I embarked on a trip to the Island of Kos, Greece, or as some would agree, Paradise. While Kos is best known for its sandy beaches and turquoise waters, it is also enriched with Greek and Roman history and is thought to be the birthplace of the ancient physician Hippocrates.
With the possibility of driving around the island in about two hours, this rich history inspired us to rent a buggy for the day and explore all that Kos had to offer. Starting in Kos Town, our first stop was Eleftherias Square, a historic square lined with traditional bars, quaint shops, and market stalls. After a short stroll around the square and a delicious breakfast, we decided to move on to the highlight of the day.
Thanks to the volcanic nature of the Dodecanese islands, Kos offers the unique experience of swimming in hot springs. Enriched with minerals and reaching temperatures of around 40 degrees, it was both a relaxing and fascinating experience.
After many more stops, including the ruins of an ancient amphitheater, we ended the day back in Kos Town, where we enjoyed a well-deserved drink!
