The Archaeological Museum

The Archaeological Museum, in Eleftherias Square, is the obvious place to start your cultural tour of the landmarks of Kos town. It will help put everything into context. But before entering, first admire the building, completed in 1935 during Kos’ Italian occupation. Once inside, you can enjoy some of the most important artefacts found at the sites you’re about to visit. Highlights from the Ancient Greek period include a bust of Hera in the hallway and imposing sculptures of Hippocrates and Hermes.
