Kos, Greece

By day three of our Turkish adventure, Jen and I were itching for some proper culture or at least a greek salad. Thankfully this was not hard to come by and we hopped on the hour-long, thirty euro ferry to Greece for the day.

We only had six hours on the island and actually did have to remind each other that we needed to go back to turkey, if only for our suitcases full of hats and shoes. Keep in mind that Kos is not known as a hub of culture and fine art. In fact, it's quite the opposite. but in comparison, well, we were in feta cheese heaven.


getting off the ferry...


stop number one. i think we were so adamant on finding a good greek salad because all across Bodrum, restaurants advertised them. then we ordered them. and just because the greek islands are an hour away doesn't mean that you know how to make a greek salad.


minus the greek salad though, there is a lot of shared culture and religion


ancient ruins very close to Kos Town


The Central market


Frappes at this wonderful coffee shop/bar/restaurant hidden in the back of a little jewelry shop
