Join Thor and me as we discover the magic of Kos, home of Hippocrates, “the father of modern medicine.”
NOTE: Since our recent trip to Greece to research more settings for my novel-in-progress, THE ARIADNE DISCONNECT, Thor and I knew we had to return to this magical region. My first entry in this new blog series posted here on Saturday, 10/20/2018. It gives an overview of our rambles from Athens to seven islands in the Dodecanese and Cyclades groups, ending our ferry-hopping pilgrimage on the anciently sacred island of Delos.
After a lovely sunset ferry ride from Rhodes, Thor and I disembarked on Kos, where I was eager to research the ancient healing center that plays a part in my novel-in-progress. We were also ready for some relaxation at our “splurge” hotel, arriving to discover that they were giving us a free upgrade to a truly luxury suite with its own infinity pool overlooking a stunning view. Thank you, White Rock of Kos!
Here’s a montage of the island and a side trip to the nearby volcanic island of Nisyros. Next week we’ll start on our discoveries of the beauties and history of this beautiful island and its healing center dedicated to the god Asklepios.
See you next week!
