A man who recently travelled to the Greek island of Kos with his family has said how much he enjoyed the experience.

Paul Mottram, writing for the Mirror, took his wife and 16-month-old son to Kos and said he would recommend it to anyone.

Although he admitted it was tempting to stay within his hotel's boundaries and take part in the all you can eat buffets, the journalist said to do so would be to miss out on some of the best Kos has to offer.

Kardamena, the liveliest resort on the island, is recommended as having an excellent nightlife, as well as a golden beach and watersports.

It is also the home of cheesy nightclub Downtown, Mr Mottram said.

In addition, the Waterpark Lido in Mastichari is highlighted as a great place to take the kids.

"[Kos] has everything a holidaymaker could ever want," Mr Mottram concluded.

According to Kos Island Greece, the winter months are an ideal time to go on cheap holidays in Kos thanks to their mild temperatures.
