Go Kart Kos Pro Track in Kardamena

In Kardamena, on the island of Kos in the Dodecanese, the Go Kart Kos Pro Track has run karts in the open air for more than thirty years, with a competition track laid out back in 1993. The fleet covers all ages: mini karts of one hundred and twenty cubic centimetres for children, karts of two hundred to two hundred and seventy cubic centimetres for adults, and two-seaters to take a passenger. You drive under the Aegean sun.

Set a few hundred metres from the resort's big hotels, the track is easy to reach on foot, by bike or by bus for holidaymakers. People come with family or friends for a few heats, in a relaxed summer atmosphere. The wide choice of karts lets everyone find their mount, from the smallest to the driver after a thrill.

Kardamena is one of the liveliest seaside resorts on Kos, an island known for its beaches, its ancient remains and the memory of Hippocrates, the father of medicine said to have been born there. Facing the volcanic island of Nisyros, the resort lives to the rhythm of summer tourism. The Go Kart Kos adds a sporting activity on land, well rooted in the island's leisure scene for several decades. Booking is advised in high season, when Kardamena fills with holidaymakers, and the circuit's decades of experience ensure a well-honed welcome. It is one of the best-known land activities on Kos, great for a sporting break between two days on the beach.
