Kos, Greece is a 'charming island'

Kos, Greece is a charming island 😊 🎈History Kos has a long history and is the birthplace of Western medicine. 2,600 years ago, the father of Western medicine, Hippocrates, promoted drug treatment in Kos. 🎈Geography Kos is located in the Dodecanese Islands of Greece and is the third largest island in the group. It is separated from the southwest coast of Türkiye by the sea. The island is 40 km long and 8 km wide. 🎈Tourist attractions 🏷- Asklepion: Built to worship the Greek god of medicine, Asclepius, the temple is known for its distinctive architecture and the exquisite carvings on its columns and walls. 🏷- Antimachia Castle: Built in the 14th century, it is one of the most impressive tourist attractions on the island. 🏷- Kardamena: Located below Antimachia Castle, it is famous for its beautiful beaches, proximity to the airport, and small harbor with a promenade. 🎈Food recommendations As Kos is separated from Türkiye by the sea, its cuisine is a fusion of Greek and Turkish flavors, including grilled meats, seafood dishes, dolma, and moussaka (a Greek baked dish). 🎈Culture The culture of Kos is a fusion of ancient Greek, Roman, Byzantine, and Turkish cultures. In Eleftherias Square, you can see the public market and its arcades, the Ottoman mosque and its fountain, the ancient city walls, and buildings dating back to the Italian rule.
