Kos

Kos is the third-largest island of the Dodecanese, stretching along the southwestern coast of Turkey in the warm southern Aegean. It is celebrated as the birthplace of Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine, and home to the ancient Asklepion - one of the most significant healing centers of the classical world.

Beyond its ancient legacy, Kos delights visitors with palm-lined harbor promenades, the imposing Castle of the Knights, long stretches of sandy beach, and a cycling culture that makes the flat island easy to explore on two wheels. Discover all there is to see and do in our Kos island guide.
