Roman Odeon of Kos
Ρωμαϊκό Ωδείο
A small Roman theatre from the 2nd century AD, with more than a dozen tiers of well-preserved marble seats. Free to visit, with occasional summer performances.
The Odeon could seat about 750 people and was used for musical performances and civic assemblies. The lower seats are marble and the rear rows are limestone. A famous statue of Hippocrates was discovered in the arcade beneath the stage. The site is small and intact, free to enter, and lies between the Western Site and the Casa Romana, making it an easy stop for photos on the way.
