On the island there are many archaeological sites such as the Asclepeion, or the temple of Asclepius, Greek god of medicine, the baths, the Platano of Hippocrates, the Roman odeon, the Castle of Neratzia, the fortress at the entrance of the port of the town of Kos and the Byzantine fortress of Antimachia.
For sea lovers there are many beaches to visit. The northern part of the island is always beaten by the wind, but has crystalline seabeds instead of the southern one, with a still calm sea, clear water but darker seabed. Between Kardamena and Coo there are some famous thermal springs that form natural pools of very hot and sulphurous water. Going towards Kefalos is the island of Castri often visited by sunbathers sunbathing on the beach in front.
It was famous in antiquity for being the birthplace of Hippocrates, the father of medicine.
