Kos - Town Attractions Khóra

Kos is the chief town on the island of Kos. Rebuilt after an earthquake in 1933, it lies in a deep bay, now silted up, on the northeast coast at the east end of the plain which extends along the north coast - the only plain of any size on the island. On the east side of the sheltered harbor stands the Castle of the Knights (1450-80), with pieces of ancient sculpture and inscribed stones built into its walls.
