Style Diary | Holiday in Kos, Greece



After a week full of joy at the Oceanis Resort in Kos we are back to the UK, feeling relaxed and truthfully looking forward to the next trip. We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday on the tiny island with so much character, that is Kos. Our hotel resort was breathtaking with huge grounds and a private beach area. Everything was perfection including the food, rooms, views and entertainment. For me the excitement of preparing to go on holiday starts with the outfit planning and I always look forward to taking photos of everything we get up to whilst away. So, of course I had to do another look book this year. If you would like to see what I wore whilst in Kos, Greece then please carry on reading...

DAY 1 

During our first day in Kos we took a walk around the hotel grounds, which is a mighty plot of land might I add. Our hotel had 2 pools, four restaurants, a private beach area, mini golf course, tennis courts, 3 bars and huge areas of greenery which made for quite the walk. After finding our bearings we got into our swimwear and headed for the main pool. As we arrived there was water aerobics in the pool which really made for a great start to the holiday. It was such a laugh and so much fun! After lunch and a chill out session by the pool we went back up to the room to get ready for the evening. On our first evening we went to explore the best spots to take pictures, had dinner, drinks and enjoyed the night time entertainment. And this marked the first night of a fantastic holiday....

DAY 2

On day two we took a trip into Kos Town Centre. Our hotel was approximately a 10 minute drive away from the town square. The town square was a busy place with quaint streets, quirky buildings and plenty of restaurants. We soon realised that this area of the world has crazy moped drivers that come out of nowhere and certainly won’t stop for anyone...
We hoped back on the bus and to the hotel for a spot of lunch and ended the afternoon with a swim,
water polo and sun tanning. Tonight was the Gala Dinner at our hotel with the dress code of black and
white. All of the guests and staff were dressed to impress and it was an elegant evening with good
food and music.

 DAY 3

On our third day we got a boat over to Bodrum, Turkey. Kos is next door to Bodrum and only takes 40 minute to drive over. We spent the full day in Turkey exploring the town and it’s narrow streets, traditional houses and markets with salesmen wanting to bargain with you. The day was a great chance to enter the east with it's distinct smell of spices and to experience it’s culture first hand. In the evening we had a glorious meal and chilled by the bar until it was time for bed.

DAY 4

After a busy few days exploring Kos and Turkey we decided to have a completely chilled day on Saturday by the pool and the beach. We woke up and had a beautiful breakfast in the sunshine, relaxed on the beds by the pool, joined water aerobics, had a swim and did all that you’re supposed to do on a summer holiday. During the evening we had our meal and chatted by the bar until it was dark. 






Playsuit: ASOS
Bikini: Floozie




Jumpsuit: Missguided
Shoes: Newlook

DAY FIVE
On Sunday (our final full day) we spent the morning sunbathing by the pool and making the most out of the beautiful weather. During the afternoon there were free hand and arm massages which as a Beauty Therapist I can really appreciate. After lunch we visited the hotel Spa and spent an hour in the sauna, steam room, jacuzzi and laying on the loungers. On our final evening we took a walk around the hotel grounds, played a few games of pool and watched the evening entertainment.
The following day we got up, packed up our belongings and left for the airport in the evening after dinner. We spent the majority of this day soaking up the sun and reminiscing on what had been a fabulous holiday and one we will never forget. 



Bikini: Pour Moi
Sunglasses: Newlook



Dress: H&M

Thank you for reading my Kos Style Diary and I hope this post gave you some holiday outfit inspiration. If you're thinking about visiting Kos for your next holiday I would 100% recommend it. Our hotel the 'Oceanis Beach and Spa Resort' is also a gem of a hotel and one of the best in Kos, in my opinion.
Also, be sure to follow  my Instagram as that is where I posted other pictures from the holiday on my story: @Jodielbeauty
