A
little about Kos ... |
 |
|
|
Kos
island is located in the south-eastern Aegean Sea, |
|
which
covers an area of 283 square kilometres. Kos is the |
|
.
third
largest of the Dodecanese after Rhodes and Karpathos. |
|
|
Kos
is situated between Kalymnos and Nissiros, opposite |
|
the
south western coast of Asia Minor. Kos is a popular
|
|
tourist destination thanks to its good climate, natural
beauty, |
|
history, nightlife, and very friendly locals. |
|
|
|
Kos
is also the birthplace of Hippocrates, the father of
|
|
Medicine.
Hippocrates
was born on Kos in 460 BC.
He |
|
was
well known for his "modern method" of diagnosis and |
|
the
"Doctors Oath" which he wrote is still recited by
students |
|
entering the medical profession. According to
the legend |
|
Hippocrates taught his students under the "Plane
Tree", |
|
which is considered to be the oldest tree in
Europe and |
|
stands at the entrance to the Castle of the
Knights. |
