If you have rented a rental car, you can drive to Kos-City at any time, no matter where your quiet accommodation at one of the many beautiful beaches is, and immerse yourself in the colourful life downtown.

One can also dive into the Embros-Therme, directly located next to the open sea. This is a free use of a basin separated from the sea by stones, into which a spring with a temperature of about 50 degrees Celsius flows. The parking lot for the rental car is close by. After such a relaxation it is time for the travellers to return to the old town. Here you will find typical Greek taverns next to cafenios and ouzeries as well as small boutiques and other shops. The perfect place to stroll, buy souvenirs and stop for a drink, coffee or a Greek speciality.

Not far away, about 4 km outside Kos-City, stand the foundation walls of a former sanatorium, the Asklepeion, which was built here around the 4th century BC. Asklepios was the god of healing in Greek mythology, was also mentioned by Homer and is said to have mastered medicine and surgery. In entire Greece you can still find such healing places, which were dedicated to the god of healing, just like in Kos.

Other sights in and around Kos-City

Kos-City can’t be explored on a single day, the traveller needs more time for this. If he or she booked a rental car cheaply on the Internet and rented it from a suitable car rental company before the trip started, the time would be no problem. That way you can easily combine sightseeing in and around Kos-City with the round trip over the island Kos and will have the option to visit the old town several times on different days.

In the city itself, at the entrance to the old castle, stands the oldest tree in Europe, the plane tree of Hippocrates, which is said to be several hundred years old. According to myths, Hippocrates, the most famous doctor in Greece, is said to have already taught his students here under this plane tree, which would therefore be 2500 years old. As the tree becomes heavier and heavier with age, it must now be supported with scaffolding.

Enjoy original Greek specialities

There is one such in the mountain village of Zia. Not only that here the holidaymaker is offered a gigantic view over the whole island and the Aegean. Also, the tavern Oromedon offers the food as it is cooked by the Greeks, and this has little to do with a Greek snack in Germany. Usually a cook in a Greek tavern asks his guests into the kitchen so that they can look into the pots and decide what they want to eat. An ouzo as an aperitif is usually included. After dinner you can visit the Kos National Park, which is a special experience for children. Small animal enclosures alternate with beds on which trees, plants and herbs grow. Between the trees are hammocks, in which the visitor may make himself comfortable. Meanwhile, the children can visit the adjoining playground.
