Discover Kos Island
We will organise several sightseeing excursions for you to discover the beautiful Island of Kos
KOS is a Greek island in the Dodecanese chain (as you’d guessed). The place was a big deal in classical Greek history, its ancient marketplace one of the largest in the known world and a swinging Aegean destination for the laurel-leaf-and-toga set. KOS’ flowing, translucent coae vestes dresses were the envy of the Roman Empire, and the island was a great center of learning through its provincial affiliation with Alexandria; the Egyptian city whose legendary library was the largest in the ancient world.
The little isle, 25 miles long and a scant 5 miles wide, made its mark the easy way; by offering much, welcoming all, shrugging off turmoil, and giving of itself. KOS was a known bastion of peace in the Aegean Sea at a time when peace was not the default. Kinda cool.
Oh, and KOS is the birthplace of Hippocrates—the ancient Greek health enthusiast, and today’s anointed “Father of Medicine”.
