00:00This is COS.
00:03And these are the 5 things you must do when you are in COS.
00:07Number 1. Making a boat tour.
00:10We went on a boat tour to 3 different islands.
00:14It's a full day trip, kids proof and really fun.
00:17The tour costs 20 euro per person and kids under 2 are free.
00:22You onboard at the harbor of COS city.
00:24The first stop is Kalimnos.
00:26You can walk around, do some shopping or go for a small snack or breakfast.
00:31To be honest, I was surprised how nice this first island was.
00:35I was expecting to see only beaches today.
00:39Speaking of beaches, the next island is Pserimos.
00:43A nice beach. It's great for a swim or a nice drink to relax.
00:48The last stop is in the water.
00:49For the people who love jump off the boat in the water, they can do it there.
00:53The whole trip is really nice.
00:56There is music and you can buy cocktails or other drinks.
00:59They promote that you can also see some dolphins, but we didn't saw them.
01:05But overall, it was a really nice trip and I would really recommend it.
01:09Number 2. Visiting COS Old Town.
01:11We did a tour in COS Old Town.
01:13We asked ChatGPT to make a nice tour for us.
01:17And it did it.
01:18We visited the tree of Hippocrates.
01:20Legend said Hippocrates taught his students under this tree.
01:25Of course, it's just a legend, but it was nice to see it.
01:29Next to the tree is Nerazzia Castle.
01:32Built by the Knights of St. John in the 14th century.
01:35It was a part of the island defense system against invading forces.
01:41The entrance is 5 euro per person, and kids under 2 are free.
01:46We followed our tour with a visit to the museum, where we saw the statue of Hippocrates.
01:53The entrance is 10 euro per person, and again, the baby was free.
01:57In COS Town there are a lot of tourist shops, an indoor market, and nice restaurants.
02:03Number 3. Renting a car and go to Zia.
02:06What I can recommend is renting a car.
02:09You can rent it for a whole week, but for 1 or 2 days is more than enough.
02:13Especially if you are near COS Town.
02:15We went to Zia, a small village.
02:18Since we had a baby, we went during daytime.
02:21Something I can't recommend.
02:24A lot of Greek people were also surprised that we were going by daytime.
02:29Because Zia is famous of his sunset.
02:31It is really touristic.
02:32But I had a nice conversation with the guy from the coffee.
02:36For how long are you doing this already?
02:388 years.
02:398 years?
02:40Yeah.
02:41For 8 years.
02:42For the last 2 years we tried to make a restaurant.
02:46We have a chef from Masterchef.
02:48We have the best kitchen in Pogos.
02:50If you see the Google reviews.
02:52Yeah.
02:53What about me is about the customers.
02:55Ah.
02:55And we are doing well.
02:56That's nice.
02:57Yeah.
02:58And it's the rooftop bar, right?
03:00Yeah.
03:01Yeah.
03:01I wrote already good stories about it.
03:04Also with the sunset view.
03:06Ah, interesting.
03:07Yeah.
03:08That's where Zia is.
03:09We are from Athens.
03:09Sorry?
03:10We are from Athens.
03:11And the capital of Greece.
03:13Yeah.
03:13It's full crowd of people.
03:15Here it's peace and quiet.
03:16We have a lot of work at the evening.
03:19With the customers from the sunset.
03:20Yes.
03:21But for the night, for the morning, it's the perfect place to work.
03:24Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
03:26And we'll do the most amazing job.
03:28Ice cream and cocktails.
03:30That's the best.
03:32Who doesn't want ice cream and cocktails?
03:35Exactly.
03:35And Zia is really a nice town.
03:38Yeah.
03:39Yeah.
03:39Yeah.
03:40It's not like a traditional, like the islands of Greece with blue and white.
03:45Mm-hmm.
03:45But it's a spot limit with a nice spots.
03:48Yeah, it's nice.
03:49Yeah, it's nice.
03:50Yeah, thank you.
03:51So you are ready?
03:52Yes, I'm going to pick.
03:53We also went to the national park.
03:55Well, it's just a small area with some animals.
03:59It is not stroller proof, but it's just nice to visit.
04:03The park costs 6 euro per person.
04:06Number 4.
04:07Bike through costs.
04:08We could rent a bike, including our stay in the hotel.
04:12It is really nice to bike along the harbor.
04:15There are not that many hills, and it is really nice to see the city from a bike.
04:19Also, a babysit was available, so that was nice.
04:23If you don't need a babysit, you can also go for an electric bike.
04:27And bike more around the islands as well.
04:30Number 5.
04:32Relaxing.
04:32And last but not least, relaxing.
04:35If you love sun, sea, and doing nothing, then cost is made for you.
04:40It is beautiful weather, and most hotels have their own swimming pool.
04:44You can also go for the beach bars.
04:46Buy a drink and go swimming the sea.
04:49Or just relax on the seat and enjoy your holiday.
04:52So that's it.
04:53Thanks for watching, and I see you the next time.
