  • This is how we spent 48 hours on the beautiful Greek Island of Kos! As it was getting rainy and dark in our home town of Hamburg, we were looking for a sunny getaway in Europe that wouldn’t require a huge budget. While browsing flight prices we came across a great deal with direct flights for the Greek Island of Kos. As we love Greece already this was a no-brainer for us - so here are the highlights from 48 hours on the island. We search for our favourite beach on the island, eat delicious Greek food and check out incredible sunset spots.
    Based on our trip we think that Kos is a great budget friendly beach destination in Europe. We only booked the trip 2-3 weeks in advance, so you might get a better deal! Here’s a quick breakdown of the costs for our trip:
    - Package deal with return flights from Hamburg and budget hotel for 7 nights: 450€ per person.
    - Rental car on Kos: 26€ per day incl. all insurances

  • @waithereivegonetogethelp3240

    Top tip for hot cars, open a door on both sides then rapidly open and close one of them a few times before you get in, it pushes out a lot of the hot air inside and makes it a lot more comfortable!
