After breakfast and customs formalities the boat departs for the island Kos, the second largest island of the Dodecanese Islands. Hippocrates, known as “the Father of Medical Science” was born in Kos and practiced medicine at the Asclepion where the ruins are still visible today and can be visited along with the 560 year old “Hippocrates Tree” and a 200 year old fountain. Famous for wines, olive oil and spices, the island bears the traces of the Dorians, Carians, Persians and Romans, and now its long beaches are very popular.
