Kos

Built around its ancient harbour on the northeast coast of Kos, Kos grew into the island’s principal town and administrative centre. It looks across the eastern Aegean towards the Turkish coast, while palm-lined streets connect the waterfront with archaeological remains from Greek, Roman and medieval periods. Neratzia Castle, erected by the Knights Hospitaller beside the harbour, recalls the island’s strategic position on sea routes. Kos is also closely associated with Hippocrates and the ancient Asklepieion sanctuary lies just outside the town.
