When going on a vacation, people always want to go all-out and check out every place that their destination has to offer. Sadly, this often might not be possible due to the large amount of sightseeing spots and the distance between them. Of course, you might just be able to do it in case you go prepared and have a sightseeing plan made especially for the purpose. If you are realistic about your abilities and leave some extra time here and there, seeing most of the things might be a task within your grasp. In case you want to go visit the island of Kos in Greece, you will be glad to know that the sightseeing options there are pretty interesting and will keep you busy for quite some time. Here are some of the highlights of the beautiful Kos Island:
