The Castle of the Knights of Saint John

This castle is situated at the entrance of the Kos harbour, on what used to be an island in antiquity, communicating with the inland through a bridge that can still be seen today – the “Phoinikon” bridge. The castle consists of two defensive precincts and was built with local stone.

The Sanctuary of Asclepios (Asclepieion)

The Asclepieion is the most important monument of the island and one of the most important temples of its kind. It dates from the first half of the 3rd century BC and it was built to honour the Greek god of health and medicine, Asclepius, after the death of the famous ancient Greek physician, Hippocrates. It is a healing temple, which patients would visit to receive either treatment or some sort of healing, whether it was spiritual or physical. From here, you will have a wonderful view across Kos town and the coastline of Turkey.

Roman Odeon

Discovered by the Italian archaeologist Laurenzi, in 1929, the Roman Odeon was designed for hosting musical competitions, but it was also used as the seat for the local senate. Today, it is used for cultural happenings, such as concerts and photography exhibitions, as it is very well preserved.

Ancient Agora

Located in the centre of Kos town, the Ancient Agora is one of the largest Greek commercial & social centres of antiquity. The Agora, the sanctuaries of Aphrodite & Hercules, part of the ancient fortification and port of the city, as well as some houses may still be seen.

Hot Springs of Kos Therma

Therma beach is located 8 km after Psalidi area. Therma is exceptional due to the hot water (that’s where the name came from) coming from the volcano of Nisyros. The hot springs are a real treasure containing elements such as Potassium, Sodium, Calcium, Magnesium, Sulfur and Chlorine, all ideal treatments for rheumatism, arthritis and gynaecological issues. The beach and its hot springs were discovered in 1934 by the Italian archaeologist Laourentsi. Access to the beach: via bus running daily, car, taxi, motorbike and bicycle.
