Best Time to Visit Kos Town
Kos warms up quickly. Average highs reach about 24°C in May, 28–29°C in June and around 31°C in July and August, while the sea rises from roughly 19°C in May to 22°C in June and peaks at about 24–25°C in August and September. Rain is almost absent from June to September; it returns in October, and December and January are the wettest months.
The meltemi, the dry northerly that sweeps the Aegean in summer, usually sets in from mid-May. It is gentler here than in the Cyclades, but it can still whip up the sea on north-facing beaches and makes 30°C feel easier. On breezy days the south coast around Kefalos, where Ikos Aria sits, tends to be the more sheltered side.
For the best balance, choose June or September: warm water, long dry days and fewer families than in the school holidays. Late April and October suit walking and the ancient sites, though the sea is cooler. Greek Orthodox Easter falls on 2 May 2027. Ikos Aria is a seasonal resort, open from April to October, and much of the island closes down from November to March.
