A day trip to the Island of Kos

The island of Kos has an area of 290 square kilometers with a population of 30.000. It belongs to the geographic chain of Dodocanese islands like Rhodes and Charpotos. This group of islands is in fact more than 12 including many volcanic rocks. It is the 3rd biggest of this chain which was created after a volcanic eruption of give-or-take 200.000 years ago. About one million tourists visit the island of Kos every year by boat or by plane. The first thing we did was to take the mini train ride around the streets of the island. The second priority was to find the plane tree of Hypocrates said to be 2500 years old and nearby the Turkish mosque and the castle of the Knights of St.John.
