On the southern outskirts of Kos Town stands the ancient city’s restored Odeon.

Built in the 2nd century AD this was a music conservatory and doubled as a meeting place for the senate.

At that time the Odeon had a roof and was able to seat 750 people on 14 rows of stone benches.

The first nine were made of marble and reserved for the city’s elite, while the granite back five were for normal citizens.
