The place where Hippocrates was trained in the 5th century BC was discovered not far from Kos Town in 1902. Raised above the Kos plain, the Asklepion is the Sanctuary of Asclepius, the god of medicine.
People suffering maladies would travel from far and wide to seek treatment at the permission of the sanctuary’s priests.
A modern visitor can download an app to see 3D reconstructions of the sanctuary as they wander through it.
