Archaeological Sites of Kos, Greece, 2013

22 August, 2013
Kos has had a long and varied history as the town was founded in 366 BC.  Today Hellenistic and Roman ruins are sprinkled all over the harbour and town centre area.
There have been some attempts at restoration but it is would be a massive undertaking. Some of the areas had project sign stating numbers such as 500,000 and 600,000 Euros for restoration. Needless to say no such work was happening while we were there. Maybe EU money has “dried up”

A costly project using EU money.
This Mosaic was under cover at least.
Note the detail in this Mosaic
We couldn't work out what this was.
