Cronache di Kos
Kos is a small Dodecanese island with a rich history dating back to the 11th century BC. The city has undergone significant architectural changes due to various rulers, including the Knights of St John, who left their mark on the city's medieval architecture. Today, Kos is a charming blend of ancient ruins, Ottoman-era mosques, and modern constructions. The city's cultural identity is deeply rooted in its Byzantine and Ottoman past, with a strong emphasis on traditional crafts, music, and cuisine. The island's strategic location has made it a popular destination for sailors, traders, and travelers throughout history.

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.
