KOS MUSEUM, Found centrally of Kos town itself, at Eleftherios Square This is a superb little archaeological museum which was built by the Italians in the 1930s to display Greek and Roman sculptures, potteries and mosaics from the island. It provides a reminder of what an important strategic and cultural centre Kos was for ancient Greece and Rome. The museum's atrium includes a mural/mosaic showing the history of how Hippocrates welcomed Asklepius, ...
...holiday, mix a visit of Kos Museum, with the Gardens of Hippocrates and finish of with the 15 century Knights Castle, all of which are in close proximity to each other, you'll have an holiday worth remembering.

...with no headlights at night. Hoever, my partner is an experienced rider and I'm used to going pillion so we felt ok to hire one. It wascheer than hiring a car and took less petrol.

Further southward in Kefalos there's a Hellenistic temple and also a theatre... Read review
