Kos Archaeological Museum
Built by the Italians in the 1930s to display mainly Hellenistic
and Roman treasures found in and around Kos Town and dating from
the third century BC, the Archaeological Museum allows visitors to
glimpse into the former glory enjoyed by this quaint port town.
From original mosaics of Hippocrates, who taught here, to statues
of Asklepieion, Artemis and Hygeia found north of Decumanus
Maximus, a trip to the Archaeological Museum provides a good
foundation before setting off to explore the surrounding sites.
