Things I Learned: in Kos

September 14, 2012 · Nikki

Kos, Greece

A good indication you’re in a Greek seafood taverna

  1. When in doubt, hop on a plane to a Greek Island. You won’t be disappointed.
  2. Bee stings do hurt.
  3. I am not allergic to bees.
  4. Beach + sun beds + the ability to order food and drinks while sea side = paradise
  5. I already knew that I needed meds to be on a boat, but now I know how to recognize puking passengers and distribute meds accordingly.
  6. A sunburn-free holiday is the best holiday.
  7. A 3-island boat cruise on the Arch Angel Michael departing from the port in Kos Town is not a bad way to spend a day.
  8. Taking the Katerina for the above-mentioned boat tour probably would have been better, though.
  9. When in Kos, Shrimp or Prawn Saganaki is a must.
  10. Making friends with the guy in the Red Sox shirt may result in two free shots of Jager.
  11. Local live music is never a bad idea.
  12. Driving a four-wheeler is fun!! (I could very well be late to the game on this one)
  13. TheĀ Oromedon Restaurant in Zia is great for sunsets, not so great for vegetarians.
  14. I suck at pool (wait… maybe I already knew that).
  15. The island of Kos is a holiday hotspot for Brits.
  16. That means tons of bars have big screen TVs and are otherwise equipped for football (soccer) games.
  17. If you’re hungry on Kos, look for a Taverna.
  18. If you don’t find a Taverna, be prepared for less-than-mediocre meals from kitchens that offer everything from nachos to indian food… on the same menu.
  19. Donkeys really do make hee-haw noises. At all hours of the day or night.
  20. I like to wear the color yellow.
