Kos Island - Aegean's Wonder of History and Nature

Located just a 45-minute ferry ride from the Turkish coast, Kos Island offers visitors a unique experience with its azure sea, golden beaches, and thousands of years of history. It's an ideal destination for both day trips and unforgettable vacations lasting several days.

Resembling an open-air museum with its structures from ancient Greek times, Kos is known as the birthplace of Hippocrates. The Tree of Hippocrates in the city center is a legendary plane tree under which Hippocrates, considered the father of medicine, is believed to have taught his students.

Asklepion Ancient City is one of the island's most important historical sites. This ancient medical center dedicated to Asklepios, the god of healing, enchants visitors with both its scenery and atmosphere.

Kos is not just about history; it also means peace, entertainment, and flavor. Beaches like Tigaki, Mastichari, and Kardamena are perfect for swimming and sunbathing with their crystal-clear water and soft sand. In the evenings, you can enjoy Greek cuisine with souvlaki or seafood accompanied by live music at tavernas lined along the coast.
