The capital of Kos, which has the same name as the island, is a lovely town. It has a harbour where you can find the Castle of the Knights, many archeological sites, buildings in different styles (Italian, Greek, Turkish), nice litlle alleys with many restaurants, cafes and shops and still enough vegetation which gives the town its tropical flare.

Now this brings back happy memories for me, having a lovely meal and a cold beer in the square overlooking the church

I thought Lambi was an OK place to stay, some of the bars and clubs were really nice. Kos Town was even better though, and especially for eating.
