The Kos Natural Park in Zia Village has a small zoo that children will enjoy. There’s nothing to really write home about, but the natural setting of the park is charming. In the zoo, children will see sheep, goats, donkeys, bunnies, geese, and ducks, as well as wild animals like deer and turtles. Peacocks roam free all over the park. They are very friendly, and you are encouraged to feed them and other animals if you wish.
