Car Rental at 'Kos - Charmylou'

All major resorts are open for tourists literally all year round. Tourists are encouraged to visit the island during the main national holiday, Hippocratic Oath festival. The cultural program during this period is full of various activities. The date of the festival should be specified in advance, every year it may change slightly.

Going for a walk to the shops, tourists have to pay special attention to the leather and footwear of local production, as well as ceramic dishes and handmade carpets. All products are of high quality, many of them are made by hand and are unique.

In shopping malls and upscale restaurants payment by credit card is accepted; away from the island's capital this form of payment is unavailable. You have to take a sufficient amount of cash with you on markets; when buying goods it’s necessarily to bargain.

In restaurants and cafes tipping is common; 10 - 15% of the total amount would be enough. In some institutions, young assistants work as waiters and the tip is the only form of their income. You have to leave cash reward to all people who were serving a table.

Stores open early, no later than 9:00 am, and serve visitors up to 8:00 – 9:00 pm. In summer, in especially hot days, many shops and government offices are closed for an extended break. It can last from 2:30 - 3:00 pm to 5:00 - 5:30 pm.
