Without your own set of wheels, navigating your way around Kos can be difficult. Local buses do serve the island, but they tend to be limited in their hours of operation, and with regard to destinations too. You’ll find car rental options at the main ferry ports and towns, all around Kardemena, and at all major hotels and resorts too. Negotiating on price can be a little more difficult when it comes to car rental in Kefalonia, as an island-wide tariff is now applied to all retailers, so it’s advisable to book in advance with GoCarRental.com.
