What To Expect

Asklepion

This excursion begins with Asklepion, the most visited archaeological site on the island.Constructed in the 4th century bc it served two purposes; a temple consecrated to Asklepios the God of Health as well as a health & healing resort. This is where Hippocrates, the father of medicine, practiced & developed many of the healing methods that are still used todayThis is an excellent way to become acquainted with the traditional side of Kos Island.
