Welcome to your gateway to Kos, the legendary Island of Hippocrates. With fast ferry connections from Bodrum and Turgutreis, Kos invites you to discover ancient ruins, golden sandy beaches, cycling-friendly roads, and a vibrant island culture shaped by centuries of Greek, Roman, and Ottoman heritage.
Whether you're after a quick day trip from the Bodrum Peninsula or an extended island escape, Meander Feribot makes reaching Kos simple and affordable.
Daily departures from two Turkish ports, comfortable vessels, and a crossing time of approximately 45 minutes mean your Dodecanese adventure is just a short hop across the Aegean.
Kos is the third-largest island of the Dodecanese, stretching along the southwestern coast of Turkey in the warm southern Aegean. It is celebrated as the birthplace of Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine, and home to the ancient Asklepion - one of the most significant healing centres of the classical world.
Beyond its ancient legacy, Kos delights visitors with palm-lined harbour promenades, the imposing Castle of the Knights, long stretches of sandy beach, and a cycling culture that makes the flat island easy to explore on two wheels. Discover all there is to see and do in our Kos island guide.
