Kos Island

Kos Island

Kos Island, also known as Kos Island, which is one of the 12 islands, is only 8 nautical miles away from the Bodrum Peninsula. The magnificent historical monuments of the Ottoman, Byzantine and Venetian periods await their guests with all their splendor. In addition to its historical monuments, Kos is a modern touristic center with many spectacular hotels, restaurants, beaches and nightlife.

The world-famous Hippocrates Tree, located in the center of Kos Island, is one of the most important symbols of the island. Considered the ancestor of doctors in mythological ages, Hippocrates has shown that human therapy can be achieved through education and established a medical center called Asklepion. Nowadays, doctors come to Kos Island to take the Hippocratic oath.
