Chroniques de Kos
Kos, the third-largest of the Dodecanese islands, has a rich history dating back to the 11th century BC. The city was an important trading hub in the ancient world, with the ruins of the Asklepieion, a 3rd-century BC temple, still visible today. In the 15th century, the Knights of St John took control of the island, leaving behind a distinctive architectural legacy. Today, Kos is a vibrant, cosmopolitan town with a strong sense of community, its narrow streets lined with neoclassical buildings, bars, and restaurants serving fresh seafood. The annual Festival of Saint Theodore, held on November 7th, celebrates the island's patron saint with traditional music, dance, and food.

Principales attractions à Kos
💡 Don't bother with the overpriced tourist shops around it. Instead, grab a coffee from the nearby café on Plateia Platanou and sit on the steps watching the locals walk by.
💡 The castle grounds are free to enter but the interior isn't. Go at sunset for the best light, and climb the short ramp just inside the main gate for a panoramic photo without the ticket.
💡 Visit early morning before the heat and crowds. The shaded paths near the plane trees give you clear views of the mosaic floors without paying for the adjacent museum.
💡 If you're here the first Sunday, arrive just before 10:00 when it opens — it's small and fills up fast. The garden courtyard has nice shade and a few benches. Otherwise, the museum is not worth the full price unless you're very keen.
💡 Take the local bus from Kos Town central station (€1.80, runs every 30 mins) to Marmari village, then walk 15 mins north. Bring your own food and water — the tavernas are 10 mins inland.
