This is a Place that we always go to, and we always take a ride with bicyckle up there. It's intressting and relaxing to be there, when you coming up there you can sit down and whatch the cats and people, take a frappe in the cafe, and after that go in and watch the ruins of this old hospital.
This ancient hospital is well worth visiting linked in to the island's history and Hippocrates it is better preserved and presented than many sites. for €4 (€2 if you are a pensioner with proof of age). Make sure you go with a guide as it benefits from an explanation
Large ancient Greek and Roman site in a good state of preservation .Guide leaflet a bit perfunctory and signage could be better, but well worth the effort and not bad value for money
The sheer sense of history and the stunning views are sensational. For my part I would make my own way by public transport or the local tourist train as organised trips leave you too little time and often link it to less meaningful places.
This is definitely worth a trip, it cost us 12 euros there and back in a cab from Kos Town. It costs 4 euros each to get inside to tour the ruins, which are very interesting to look at. It's worth the 4 euros for the view from the top alone, absolutely gorgeous with a panoramic view of the Tigaki coastline and Bodrum, Turkey. The scale of the place is astounding, it was a very, very big school back then! There's a beautiful walk way from the car park the entrance which is covered by a canopy of trees. There's also a cute little cafe that sold the most amazing orange and strawberry juice! Yummy! The nice man who owned it also called us a cab to take us back into town. We were only there for an hour or so, but it's definitely worth a trip. We loved it :)
Its worth the climb to the top for great views and a great sense of the layout of this famous site. Avoid being there at midday on hot days! Travel there for free on the red land train or take a taxi or bus, but do go!
Age and seismic activity haven't managed to level this amazing archaeological masterpiece. Well worth a look to see the birthplace of the Hippocratic oath.
This is a must visit for anyone. You can climb the steps and take great pictures. (There are a lot of steps though and no handrails) The view from the top is breathtaking.
Lots of steps to climb but worth it. First hospital site of hippocrates. Stunning views to turkey from the top of the steps
You know of the Hippocratic oath ? It comes from Hippocrates of kos, and it’s creation the Asklepieion on Kos.This place is full with history, and unlike most other places I visited is not clogged up with pushy salesman trying to sell you t-shirts or miniatures of what you saw. You do need an accredited guide for this though, be sure to choose a good one. Otherwise, the place itself is pretty arid on what concerns guidance on what is what.If you do get a good guide, the tour is brilliant. The place is huge and you can relax in the shade of a tree whilst listening to a tutorial on Pericles, Hippocrates, the Asklepieion, modern medicine and some greek language you understand even today… It is worth your time and if you are in KOS, you must see this.
