Kos Guided Walking Tour – Old Town History & Sights

Led by a local guide, this experience takes you through the heart of the town’s past and present — from medieval fortifications to ancient ruins and lively squares. It’s ideal for visitors who want context and stories behind the sights rather than just wandering on their own.
