Chronicles of Kos
Kos, a Dodecanese island in the Aegean Sea, has a rich history dating back to the 11th century BC. The city's architecture reflects its past as a major trading hub, with Venetian and Ottoman influences visible in its well-preserved medieval castle and fortifications. Today, Kos is a vibrant cultural centre, with a thriving arts scene and a strong focus on traditional Greek cuisine. Visitors can explore the ancient ruins of the Asklepieion, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and stroll along the picturesque waterfront promenade, lined with cafes, shops, and restaurants.

Top Attractions in 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.
