Economy & Compact Cars in Kos

The most famous historical monument of Kos is the Tree of Hippocrates where the great healer taught future physicians. It is located in the island's capital, attracting the attention of all tourists who want to touch the history and those who love atmospheric places - and it is exactly like that. No less remarkable and atmospheric is a landmark associated with another great healer, Asclepius. This is about the Asclepeion (Ασκληπιείο). Physicians from all over the world come to this place to take the Hippocratic Oath. This is the first "healing temple", and locals believe one can receive a blessing from the Father of Medicine by visiting it.

When it comes to museums, the outstanding one is the Archaeological Museum (Αρχαιολογικό Μουσείο Κω) where most of the artifacts found during excavations on the island are collected. Kardamena has the Folklore Museum demonstrating the local life and telling about the island's traditional crafts, and where great attention is paid to the music of Kos. This is one of those places where one can deeply feel the local culture and admire its multifacetedness. In Kefalos, it's possible to find a house in which the typical centuries-old interior and exterior have been preserved. It is worth noting that a tour of the house museum is quite exciting. Here you can learn everything - how one or another household item was used, which traditional crafts local people mastered, what they preferred to eat for lunch.
