Kos unfolds its story through centuries of history — from the sacred birthplace of modern medicine to formidable medieval strongholds and mountain villages with breathtaking Aegean views. Travel in absolute comfort and discover the island's most iconic landmarks at your own pace.
Founded in the 4th century BC following the death of Hippocrates, this sacred sanctuary served as the world's first renowned medical center. Walk through the three grand terraces where ancient doctors combined therapy with spiritual healing. Legend has it that Roman emperors sent their private physicians here to master the medical arts.
Built in the early 14th century by the Knights of St. John, this impressive fortress stood as a vital shield for the island. In 1457, just 15 Knights and 200 locals successfully defended the castle against a massive Ottoman siege of 16,000 soldiers — a legendary moment in Kos's medieval survival.
Nestled on the slopes of Mount Dikaios, Zia gained fame in the late 19th century as a cool mountain retreat for locals escaping the coastal heat. Wander through cobblestone paths, explore artisanal shops selling local cinnamon syrup (Kanelada), and enjoy unmatched panoramic views stretching across to neighboring islands.
