About 4 km southwest of Kos Town, there is the most important ancient site on the island, the Asklepieion. This was a healing center in the ancient times connected to Asclepius, the god of medicine. People came to this temple from all over Greece and the Mediterranean to be healed from woods and to be treated. They were sleeping in a large room and the god was supposed to come to their dreams and reveal them the proper treatment.

In the afternoon, after you have finished sightseeing, go to Tigaki beach for swimming and watersports. This is a long, sandy and organized beach about 10 km west of Kos Town and provides a great environment for relaxing.
