Cronache di Kos
Kos Town, the capital of the Dodecanese island of Kos, was founded by the Dorians in the 11th century BC and has since been ruled by various empires, including the Romans, the Knights of St John, and the Ottomans. The city's rich history is reflected in its architecture, with a mix of medieval, Byzantine, and neoclassical styles. The ancient Agora, a bustling marketplace, is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a testament to the city's cultural heritage. Today, Kos is a thriving hub for tourism, with a lively atmosphere and a strong sense of community. The city's vibrant cultural scene is driven by its many festivals and events throughout the year, including the Kos International Film Festival and the Kos Jazz Festival.

Principali attrazioni a 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.
