Location
About the surrounding area of Villa GemVilla Gem is situated just a five-minute drive from Kos Town, here there are an endless selection of excellent bars, restaurants and shops. A convenient supermarket is however located just 100m away from the villa – ideal for lazy days where you want to leave the car at home. Kos has a wide variety of beautiful beaches, the closest are again just a five-minute drive from Villa Gem. The airport is just a twenty minute drive from the villa.
The island’s tourist 'train' offers guided tours around the island, starting at Kos harbour working its way through the marine area, Kos main square, beaches, viewpoints and ancient sites giving a taster of what is on offer and allowing the less able to get around them easily, another trip heads to Asklepion.
Kos’s culture has evolved out of its rich ancient heritage. A place worth visiting is the Kos Castle of the Knights, the Nerantizia Castle dominates the islands main harbour and Kos town as you approach by boat. The perimeter walls and in particular the Nerantizia bridge are a very worthwhile visit despite the fact that the area within the walls has been closed to the public since a devastating earthquake in 2017. Kos is most famous for being the birthplace of Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine. The tree that he once taught under, the Hippocrates Plane Tree (one of the oldest trees in the world) still stands in Kos town and is revered by many visitors each year.

The villa is stunning!
This felt like paradise from the moment we arrived. The villa is stunning...even the amazing photos don't do it justice! The pool is wonderful...bigger than we imagined and we used it frequently every day...the water is clean and cool when you need a dip but not cold. The outside areas are gorgeous. The house is fairly cool, but it also has aircon units in lounge, bedroom and kitchen so you can stay cool. Indoors is just as beautiful and calm, and there has been amazing attention to detail. The bed is so comfy as are all of the seating areas. The shower is amazing! The kitchen is very well equipped and everything is extremely clean. The supermarket is a 4 minute walk and stocks just about everything you would need. It's not in a touristy area, but that's what we wanted...a little bit of privacy and quiet for our honeymoon, and we got that in spades. However, we were able to catch a bus to Kos easily, and buses for all major resorts drive along the main road, a 5 minute walk from the villa. We hired a car and would recommend. Caroline the host is so lovely. We sent her a shopping list for items for arrival as we were arriving late at night, and she sorted this for us..we just paid when we arrived. The bottle of wine on arrival was also much appreciated. She is so friendly and helpful, and yet affords you all the privacy you want. Her dogs are lovely too! My advice...just go. We felt like we had to keep pinching ourselves as being there felt like a beautiful dream!
