There are a considerable number of souvenir shops and supermarkets to cater for all of your needs, while at night, the many bars and discos in the centre will keep you busy throughout the evening. A couple of beaches situated either side of the harbour are well equipped for water sports , and this is a good base to explore the other parts of the island.The Oscar Hotel and Apartments is situated in the centre of Kos town, just 200 metres from the harbour, surrounded by trees and gardens. All of the bedrooms are simple and functional and come with all the amenities guests will need during their stay
