Quad bike ATV Rentals on Kos island, Greece

Kos rewards travellers who go looking for it. The island hides its best moments away from the port bustle — a sunset table in Zia village with the whole Aegean spread below you, a natural hot spring bubbling straight into the sea near Agios Fokas, a quiet chapel islet you can only really appreciate by stopping on the road above it. A quad bike gets you to all of it in a single day, no bus timetable, no taxi haggling, just you and the road.

Kos is only about 40 km end to end, but it packs in flat coastal towns, sandy beach roads and a proper mountain in the middle, so a quad bike suits it better than most vehicles. Traffic around Kos Town and the main coast road is light by European standards, easy for casual riders, while the higher ground and backroads toward Kefalos stay firm and grippy even where the tarmac runs out — exactly where scooters start to struggle. If you plan to rent a quad bike in Kos, this is the terrain it was built for.

Top 10 things to see in Kos by quad bike

1. Asklepion (Asclepieion of Kos) — an ancient healing sanctuary on a pine-covered hillside above Kos Town, with views stretching to Turkey, just a short ride from the port.
2. Zia village — the island's classic sunset spot on Mount Dikeos, tavernas and panoramic views, and the most popular short quad excursion on Kos.
3. Kefalos — a hilltop town at the southwestern tip of the island and the natural turnaround point for a full-day loop.
4. Paradise Beach (Kefalos Bay) — a sheltered sandy beach ideal for a swim stop partway through the south-coast ride.
5. Agios Stefanos beach and the Kastri islet — early Christian basilica ruins beside a postcard view of the tiny Kastri chapel just offshore.
6. Tigaki beach — a long sandy stretch on the north coast, an easy flat ride from Kos Town, good for windsurfing and a beach-bar break.
7. Kos Castle (Neratzia Castle) — the Crusader-era fortress by the harbour, a natural start or finish point for any route.
8. Plaka Forest — a shaded pine forest just outside town, home to free-roaming peacocks and a nice easy detour.
9. Therma hot springs — a natural hot spring flowing into the sea near Agios Fokas, one of the island's best offbeat stops.
10. Dikeos Mountain road — the winding route through the Asfendiou villages, the most scenic quad loop on Kos.

What do you need to rent a quad bike in Kos?

Requirements vary by exactly how the quad is registered, so always confirm the category with the rental company before booking, but expect to need a valid driving licence and to be at least 18. Non-EU visitors should bring an International Driving Permit. A deposit is standard practice, usually held on a credit card, with the amount set by the individual operator.

How much does it cost to rent a quad bike in Kos?

Average rental prices in Kos run from 15-25 EUR per day in low season up to 35-50 EUR per day in high season, with premium four-seat buggies from around 50-70 EUR per day.

• Prices climb steadily from spring, peaking in July and August.
• April, May and October are the cheapest months to rent.
• Booking ahead in summer helps, since quads sell out fast at the best rates.

When to book a rental quad bike in Kos?

High season runs July to August, when prices sit at their highest and popular quads get booked out early — reserve well in advance if you're travelling then. Low season stretches from November to March, though many island rental shops close entirely over these months. For the best mix of good weather, open shops and fair prices, aim for May-June or September-October.

Local traffic rules in Kos

Greece drives on the right. Helmets are compulsory for every rider, and enforcement is strict with real fines behind it. Speed limits sit at 50 km/h in built-up areas and 90 km/h on open roads, lower for smaller-engine vehicles. The blood-alcohol limit is 0.5 g/l generally, tightened to 0.2 g/l for motorcyclists and novice drivers. Keep in mind that rental insurance almost always excludes unpaved roads and beaches, so stick to the tarmac to stay covered, and always carry your licence, IDP and rental papers with you while riding.
