This town has a rich and long history over 6000 years, it's the town I love very much (Heroes and Demigods visiting this town and island, as Achilles and the famous Hercules; Also Poseidon has a famous myth of Kos, Poseidon the God of the Sea, he had a pursuit of the Giant Polybotes, he snipped off a land of the island with his trident to him and had kill Polybotes; - and this piece formed the neighboring island, called now Nisyros, so this isle is a part of Kos; this is the myth of Kos; - Kos town now is right wonderful, and survived throughhout centuries and has a rich character with ancient sites, nice shops, bars and restaurants. I need just to return to this lovely town

In the centre of Kos town you will find this very attractive square. Great place to have a coffee and people watch. Small market for gifts next to the church, which is a worth a visit.

Whenever I visit a new city, island or country within Europe I look to identify if there are any Roman Empire archaeological sites or museums. On this occasion there was fortunately a number of historical locations within the archeological quarter of Kos Town. This site is an excellently preserved example of a Roman villa with excellent murals. There are a number of internal and external ruins, excellent descriptions of the purpose of each room and the types of activities that would have occurred. There are very well preserved pots and utensils as well as statues. Finally there was also a very well preserved garden area in the middle of the villa. This is a very enjoyable location and a must visit for Roman history fans such as myself.

It was the Hellinistik and the Roman period and had a center of commerce near the port; At this time the Ancient Agora was built and had shops and a large market and places; also Roman Temples were constructed and very nice Roman Villas; a very nice Roman Villa offers a museum, (Casa Romana) ; Later on at Christian and Byzantine times were constructed churches; Kos was and is a wonderful place, so it changed hands many times; The Ancient Agora is a must to visit.

We walked up here from Kos town; about 5 kilometres from our hotel. The site is very extensive and well maintained. It normally charges a few Euros for entry but we were there during the Covid crisis and entry was free. There are three levels and each has its own charms and interests. It's the most popular visitor centre on Kos but it was relatively quiet when we visited. There's a pleasant shaded bar area where you can relax with a beer or soft drink. And the toilets on site were clean and well cared for. Definitely recommend a visit. There's an extensive car park for those who can't face the climb on foot.

This was built by knights Templar and is Kos' main tourist attraction.
Wow what a cute little place, lots of cute shopping streets and plenty of good food places to stop and eat, the harbour is busy at night and looks lovely when all the boats are back from their trips, prices are all reasonable meals range from 8 euros upwards and good portion sizes you can get large beers 500ml for around 2/3 euro cocktails from €6 euros, Kos offers boat trips, beach trips, sunset trips, day trips over to Bodrum in Turkey this was €20 worth a trip but get back to the boat early as you end up queuing in the hot sun for an hour as there is only 2 passport officers so there’s plenty to do. My one biggest grudges is though the bikes Kos is a bicycle friendly island and they hire these out to the tourists in the hundreds they are everywhere they even have their own cycle paths but these are wider than the pavements and encroach on on to the paths so you’ve got to look and look again ..... oh and all the trees are laid in the paths so this makes it difficult to walk safely on the paths too but I would definitely recommend it.

Not too far from the centre of Kos Town, although when it's hot it does feel like a walk. We visited in mid-august and weren't disappointed. Fascinating (from a normal tourist's view) how well preserved the Roman Odeon of Kos remains and fires the gears of your imagination to what has come before the modern day Kos. Essential visit if this is of interest as is the nearby (5 minute walk?) Roman House of Casa Romana which is a slightly larger and more involved historical attraction. A beautiful memory for our family to have viewed these ruins.

I visited the church in June, but not possibility to enter, it's closed, and still not renoved after the earthquake; the church has many cracks, and the windows are broken; around the church is a special cimetary to visit; in the park around, under a tent, marquee, the mess will be held. quit and nice place to visit.
