Dive straight into the highlight of Kos! Start your journey with an unforgettable swim in the crystal-clear waters of Agios Stefanos beach, right alongside ancient basilica ruins and the picturesque Kastri islet. Afterwards, explore the medieval hilltop castle of Kefalos and enjoy a tranquil walk among free-roaming peacocks in the pine forest of Plaka.
We begin directly at Kamari beach for the ultimate highlight: swimming in turquoise waters surrounded by 5th-century Early Christian basilicas! Put on your swimwear, dive into the refreshing sea, and swim across to Kastri — a tiny rocky islet topped with an iconic blue-domed chapel — where you can ring the bell before relaxing on the beach.
Refreshed from your swim, we head up the hill to traditional Kefalos Village. Explore the ruins of the 13th-century Byzantine/Knights' Castle, which served as a strategic watchpoint against pirate raids, and take in breathtaking panoramic views over the gulf you just swam in.
On our return journey, we stop at the serene pine forest of Plaka. Walk along shaded paths where dozens of vibrant, free-roaming peacocks and friendly cats wander naturally — a peaceful nature stop to wrap up your private tour.
Not at all, but highly recommended! If you prefer not to swim, you can explore the ancient ruins and enjoy the seaside views.
Yes, they are wild yet accustomed to human presence, making Plaka a fantastic spot for photography.
