How we verified this.
Is Kos worth visiting during Assumption of the Virgin Mary?
Packed on the event day. our forecast
Worth it if Assumption of the Virgin Mary is why you're coming — expect Packed days; if crowds are your concern, it is the one time to avoid. advice
Where are the crowds in Kos during Assumption of the Virgin Mary?
It lands on top of the season rather than instead of it, so the crowd is the usual August crowd with the feast day added: beaches by day, the harbour front and the sunset village of Zia by evening.
Our crowd forecast is an informed estimate, not a guarantee — check with the organiser and/or local authorities before you plan around it.
our forecast marks a number we worked out from published data; advice marks something we think. Never the other way round.
Named places appear here only after checking their own website; anything unverifiable is left out.
