Holiday in Kos, Aegean Islands: A passage to the city of Kos could be characterized as a giant voyage in time and history – a journey whose mark has been indelibly written on its monuments, and which has left an air of distinct fascination. This fascination enthralls and carries one away to memories from the depth of centuries past. Its charm casts a spell on today’s guests as they gaze at the remarkable landmarks, which are the legacy of various cultural influences on the area. There are monuments from the Mycenean, Geometric, Archaic, Hellenistic, Roman and Byzantine periods, as well as from the Middle Ages, the Turkish occupation, and the Italian invasion. The foray of cultures never succeeded in corrupting the Greek nature of the island, however. Rather, the various examples of each are harmoniously blended throughout the modern city of Kos.

Among the sights, what stands out is the Asklepeion, in a magnificent location just outside the city, the Plane Tree of Hippocrates, under the shade of which taught the great teacher of medicine, according to tradition, the ancient Agora, theatre, and the gymnasium “Ksisto”, the Casa Romana, the Castle of St. John, with its familiar bridge and tall palm trees for background, and from more contemporary times, the Provincial Government Building, the museum and City Hall. There is also the renovated Aktaion, a remnant of the Italian period, which today is home to the Tourist Information office of the City Tourist Organization. On the way to the Asklepeion one may also visit the International Hippocratic Institute in which the Hippocratic Museum displays valuable coins, busts and rare editions of Hippocrates’ work as well as neo-Hippocratic contributions to science.
