Ancient Agora of Kos

Highlight • Historical Site

The ancient Agora was in the ancient market place and meeting place of the capital of the island of Kos.
It was built in three phases between 366 BC. and the 4th or 5th century when ancient Agorá was destroyed by an earthquake. It is one of the largest systems of its kind and ranged from today's excavation site down to Decumana, the main road leading west to Asklepieion.
If you walk south from the excavation site of the Leforos Vironos, you will find another excavation site on the right behind the Maritina Hotel, which was only exemplary restored a few years ago. This area also belonged to the ancient Agorá. Only at this point can the dimensions of the system be measured.

Old Town, Kos

Highlight • Settlement

Very nice city center, unfortunately many historic buildings have been massively damaged by various earthquakes over the centuries. The last 2017.
Nevertheless, very worth seeing with the historic buildings from several eras. The fields of ruins from the Greek and Roman times.
Small streets lovingly colorfully designed and the harbor with the fortress.

Stone Bridge of Kos Town

Highlight • Bridge

📍 Between the Governor's Palace and the fortress complex, Kos Town

A massive stone bridge spans the street – a silent link between power and history. It probably once served as a secure crossing between administrative buildings or the fortress. Today, it's a striking feature of the cityscape – overlooked by many, yet full of symbolic significance.

💡 Tip:
It's worth looking up. If you photograph it from the right perspective, you'll capture both the harbor and the Governor's Palace – a picture between eras.

Highlight • Castle

Nerátzia Castle (also known as St. John's Fortress or St. John's Castle) is located at the entrance to Mandráki Harbour. In ancient times, the castle grounds formed a small offshore island connected to the main island by a bridge.

Since dark clouds were coming this morning, we went to Kos instead of the beach. A bit of shopping for a change.
