Municipality of Kos

The Municipality of Kos is an administrative unit that manages the entire island with its coastal areas and inland regions. It provides various public services and maintains infrastructure for all communities and villages across the territory.

The Municipality of Kos was created in 2011 through the Kallikratis reform, which merged several smaller administrative units into one. This restructuring aimed to make public administration more efficient and simpler to manage.

The municipality supports local events and gatherings where residents from different neighborhoods come together to share traditions. These community occasions shape daily social life across the island and show how various population groups stay connected.

The administrative office at Akti Kountouriotou 7 is where residents handle official documents and sort out municipal matters. It helps to check opening times ahead and bring necessary documents when visiting.

The administration covers both coastal tourist areas and rural agricultural regions at the same time, which presents a unique challenge. This mix of competing interests requires balancing very different needs across the island.
