The island is famous for its tight vegetation and for its temperate climate and it was characterized by the Roman doctor Gallino as "the most temperate place in the world". The morphology of the ground varies and it is the result of long-lasting geological changes and it is particularly owed in the volcanic activity of the known Aegean Arc (Nisiros, Thira, Milos, Methana).

According to the latest geological studies seven volcanoes located in the space between Nisiros and Kos and one of them is inactive today in the Isthmus of Kefalos. The big explosion happened 160,000 years ago between Nisiros and Kefalos it had as a result to cover half of the island of Kos, in the western part, with a layer of ash and kisiris thickness of about 30 meters.

The main villages of Kos are Asfendiou, Ammaniou, Antimahia, Kardamena, Kefalos, Marmari, Mastihari, Pyli and Tingaki . The Marina of Kos Island has officially opened on the 15th of May 2001.
