Kos at a glance
- Coastal places: 14 (5 main ones and 9 more): 14 towns and cities.
- Region: South Aegean.
- Astronomical tide: about 0.8 ft from high to low today (Antalya station, TICON-4). Wind and pressure move the sea more than the tide does.
- No tide times yet: 4 places, because their nearest station (Antalya, 190 mi away on average) is too far or in a different body of water to trust its times, and we can't rely on the global tide model on this coast.
- Next spring tides: from October 26 to 28, with the moon near perigee.

Questions about the tides on Kos
Are there tides on Kos?
Very small ones: today the astronomical tide is about 0.8 ft between high and low tide (Antalya station). The sea level is moved mostly by wind and air pressure, which can raise or lower it more than the tide itself.
When are the next spring tides on Kos?
From October 26 to 28, after the new or full moon, with the moon near perigee, so they will be bigger than usual. Here the tide is so small that they are hardly noticeable.
Why do some places on Kos have no tide times?
4 of the 14 places have no tide station close enough, or in the same body of water, to give their times: the nearest one, Antalya, is 190 mi away on average. And we can't rely on the global tide model on this coast, so for now we don't show their tide. The sun, moon and spring tides on their pages are accurate.
What time are sunrise and sunset today on Kos?
In the middle of the area, the sun rises at 6:31 am and sets at 5:19 pm: 10 h 48 min of daylight.
