Asklepieion is the most significant archaeological sight on the island. In antiquity, it worked as a healing centre and it got its name from Asklepeios, sun of Apollo and protector of health and medicine.
Nerantzia Castle, or else the Castle of the Knights, is located at the entrance of the port, Kos Town. It was built in the 14th century by the Knights of Saint John, on the site of a former Byzantine fortress.
The Roman Odeon was constructed in the 2nd century BC and it has been very well preserved. It hosted crowds of people that gathered to watch fights between prisoners, like it happened in the Colosseum of Ancient Rome.
This house is a beautiful Roman mansion and its architectural style ressembles of the houses in Pompeii. Some remarkable frescoes and nice atriums can be seen inside.
