Kos - Zia and Asklepieion (Afternoon Tour)

The trip begins in the picturesque village of Zia, located in the mountains, offering one of the most beautiful panoramic views on the island and across nearby islets. As you stroll through its narrow streets, you’ll feel the relaxed, local atmosphere filled with small shops, handmade crafts, and traditional charm. You will also visit the family-run tavern Avli, where you will enjoy a tasting of local wine, a true highlight of the region.

Next, you will visit a place deeply connected with the history of medicine – the Asklepieion, considered one of the most important healing centres of the ancient world. This is where Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine, is believed to have treated his patients. Walking through the ruins, you will discover a unique space where science, spirituality, and nature once came together.

At the end of the day, you will explore Kos Town – the lively capital of the island. Enjoy a walk through its charming streets, admire the picturesque harbour, and soak up the local atmosphere. It’s also a great opportunity to stop at one of the traditional taverns, try regional dishes, or find unique souvenirs.
