Kos island is known worldwide as a seasonal, summer destination for its beautiful beaches, consistently warm weather and savory food options. As Kos’ popularity as a tourist spot is rising, many are starting to wonder if Kos would also make a good option for an off-season destination. What is Kos really like that the world isn’t there to witness?
Kos island weather averages in Autumn , Winter and Spring:
| Month | January | February | March | April | November | December |
| Average (°C) | 11.2 | 11.4 | 13.1 | 16 | 16.3 | 12.9 |
As seen above, the off-season temperature averages are certainly lower than what a tourist would be used to on a seasonal island. However, they remain very livable and comfortable. This lower temperature, combined with higher humidity allows the island’s flora to grow and turns the island into a beautiful green. It also makes for comfortable, enjoyable hiking experiences all throughout the island, as the travel is no longer limited by the exhausting heat of the summer. The views get better, too!
An after-season revival of flora and fauna!
Wild (and not so wild) animals enjoy the renewed water sources
The animals of Kos sure enjoy this increase in green flora in the off-season, too! Increased chances of rain and higher humidity allow wild(and not so wild) life to recover from an exhaustively dry summer.
Take a hike!
There’s no better time to go climbing in Kos than in the off-season. The comfortable temperature, cloudy skies, and mild humidity allow for great breath-ability and will ensure that constant thirst won’t get in your way!
The views you are used to are still there!
