Archäologische Stätten auf Kos
Ancient Ruins of Kos
Kos serves as a living museum of Aegean history, showcasing architectural remains from the Hellenistic, Roman, and Byzantine eras. This collection features the Asklepieion, an ancient healing center dedicated to the god of medicine, alongside the Roman Odeon and the mosaic-filled Casa Romana. The island's defensive history is preserved in the medieval Castle of Antimachia and the hilltop ruins of Palio Pyli. Visitors can explore urban life through the Ancient Agora and the Xisto Gymnasium, or discover early Christian influence at the seaside Basilica of Ayios Stefanos.
Big temple of Asklepieion
This 2nd-century BC Doric temple stands on the highest terrace of the Asklepieion sanctuary. Dedicated to the god of healing, the site features surviving marble columns and foundations that once housed the sanctuary's cult statue.
Castle of Antimachia
Explore the ancient fortress built on a hill and enjoy the panoramic view of the Kos island and the sea.
Ancient Agora
Consisting of ruins of pillars and buildings, this place used to be the main town market where people met.
Haihoutes - Ghost Town
Also known as Agios Dimitrios, this abandoned settlement features stone houses and narrow alleys characteristic of traditional Dodecanese architecture. The village was largely deserted in the mid-20th century, leaving behind a preserved shell of rural island life.
