Balancing tourism development with its secluded character like a seesaw, one could safely say that Kos, being the third largest island of the Dodecanese only narrowly surpassed by Karpathos, and second largest in terms of population (35.000), overshadowed by Rhodes, with an expanse of 292 km2, due its large size and elongated shape, is a fascinating island since it can offer something to everyone.
