Kos is very close to the Turkish mainland, isn't it? I would have thought
that
snow or at least sub-zero temperatures might be quite common?

Yes, Kos is only a couple of miles from Turkey. It is well sheltered from
northerlies, easterlies and northeasterlies from the turkish mainland, so
frosts are not frequent at all, certainly not by the coasts.
