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. |
