Kos Town (Day Trip)
Κως
Greek Kos, reachable from Bodrum by ferry in about 30 to 45 minutes, with a Knights Hospitaller castle, an ancient agora and sites linked to Hippocrates.
Kos Town's harbour is home to the Neratzia Castle of the Knights of St John. Inside the town are the ruins of a Greco-Roman agora and the 'Plane Tree of Hippocrates'. About 4 km outside town is the ruined Sanctuary of Asklepios, god of medicine. Bicycles can be rented near the harbour. Ferries and fast boats run daily between Bodrum and Kos. You need a passport and a valid Schengen visa, and travellers with a single-entry Turkish visa should check the return-entry requirements. Check the ferry schedule for the current season.
