Kos

Kos is the second-largest island in the Dodecanese — birthplace of Hippocrates, the founder of modern medicine, and home to one of the best-preserved ancient sites in the Aegean. The Asklepieion, a 4th-century-BC healing sanctuary, sits on a hillside above Kos Town with views back across to the Turkish coast. Inside the town, a Hellenistic agora and the Castle of the Knights line the harbour, and a famously old plane tree in the square is said to be where Hippocrates taught. The island's south coast holds long sandy beaches — Paradise, Banana, Camel — best reached by boat. Kos is a 45-minute sail from Bodrum, an hour from Kalymnos. Season runs April through October.

Recommended duration: ideal for 1 days
