Elena Mavridis – First Immersion in Greece in 2009 My journey to Greece began with an unexpected gift of fate. As a philology student, I won a grant for a summer language program in Athens. What was planned as a three-month academic adventure completely transformed my life. Stepping onto the land of Hellas, I felt an inexplicable thrill – as if my soul recognized the place where it was destined to flourish. After completing the program, I made an impulsive decision to stay for another six months, working as a translator for a small tourism company. Every weekend, I dedicated to exploring new corners of the country – from the majestic ruins of Peloponnese to the secluded beaches of the Cyclades. For over 16 years now, I've been working as a Greece expert, creating unique journeys that reveal the authentic soul of this ancient land. I live between Athens and the island of Naxos, constantly expanding the map of my Greek discoveries. Greece is an amazing world where myths come alive in every stone, and history breathes in modernity. Greeks are incredibly open people for whom philoxenia (love for guests) is not just a tradition but a way of life. Over these years, I have developed more than a thousand personalized itineraries for travelers from around the world, created a popular podcast about Greece's hidden treasures, published an illustrated guide to Greek regional cuisines, and collaborate with leading travel magazines as an expert on authentic Greek destinations.
Car Rental in Kos
Kos Island offers a few types of recreation.
Of course you can choose to have a rest on the beach and in a hotel. You can also take a few guided tours offered by the hotel or by numerous tourist information points.
But if you want to get a real impression of the island and to feel it you will need a vehicle. Kos is considered to be “a paradise” for bikers and numerous car rental agencies offer the widest choice of bicycles and motor-bicycles to hire. A disadvantage of travelling by two-wheeled vehicles is the mountainous landscape. The major part of the island is covered with mountains and travelling by bike in highlands is not everyone’s cup of tea.
Apart from two-wheeled vehicles Kos Island offers the widest choice of various four-wheelers to hire. This mode of transport is also very popular. It’s a vehicle that a large number of tourists choose to travel around the island.
The disadvantage of four-wheelers is that they are not safe enough, though many people consider them to be absolutely safe. However, this mode of transport is also not everyone’s cup of tea. Besides, this vehicle is not powerful enough to be used in mountains.
An additional mode of travel is public transport. They say that Kos Island has a well-developed network of buses. But it goes without saying that public transport is not the most convenient way of travelling.
As for us we hired a car to travel around the island. It was a small Hyundai I10 but it suited us perfectly. It turned out to be a very comfortable and easy way to travel any time of day and night. Frankly speaking I’m not too keen on renting cars during vacation. But as far as Kos Island is concerned driving is very easy due to good and simple roads. Besides, the island is quite small and you can’t get lost.
In addition, low rental price made our day. To rent a car for 3 days and with comprehensive insurance cost us 40 euro per 24 hours. As for the petrol it really cost peanuts.

Everything was done perfectly and very fast and the car was already waiting for us at the airport. We were so lucky to find a company that offered excellent service for a very good price.
Another way is to rent a car for nearly the same price in one of the numerous companies operating on the island. But pay attention to the type of insurance!
