Kos belongs to the Dodecanese. The Dodecanese
aren't twelve islands, as someone would believe from the name
but 20 islands. Surface of Kos is 290 tr. Km and almost 24000
inhabitants. Kos is in third place after Rhodes and Karpatho.
It is located south of kalimno and north of Nisiro. It's far
from the east 4 miles and has length 45 km; width 2-11 km. Kos
climate is sweet winter or summer. The morphology of the soil
and the plentiful water are doing good for the production of
agricultural products.
Presence of ruins and some exhibits revive memories from uninterrupted
civilization of six thousand years. The island has combined
the tradition’s elements with today and it has developed the
characteristics of the modern cosmopolitan sea centers. We start
the acquaintance from the city in the port, the museum, the
purchase, the unique antiquities, the Hippocrate’s plane tree
and the castle to pass through the Aesculapius antiquities and
the rest island.
Kos: The today’s capital of Kos which has the same name
is one of the most beautiful cities of Greece. The combination
of the modern buildings and ruins of many centuries creates
a charming atmosphere. Like the entire island and the capital
city it has met important distortions from earthquakes in ancient
years. The transportation to the villages of the island is being
done by taxi or by bus. The often itinerary of ships and planes
has made easier the development of the internal and national
tourism.
The port: The life in the port never stops. Fishermen,
tradesmen, caiques which commune are giving to the place of
the port a different appearance around 4 or 5 in the morning.
Ships commune people and merchandise.
