Honey from the hills, wine from the vines and oil pressed on the island.
Small producers you can visit rather than just buy from.
Thyme and wildflower honey from the hills above Kefalos.
Island wineries around Marmari and Tigaki, several open to visitors.
Oil pressed from groves across the island's interior.
These are the things worth carrying home from Kos.
Kos has been farmed for millennia, and the island's honey, wine and olive oil still come from small family operations rather than large estates.
Several of the producers here welcome visitors for tastings, which turns an afternoon of shopping into a proper look at how the island actually eats and drinks.
