South-Eastern Aegean Sea

 The History behind KOS Island

In Homer's Iliad, a contingent of Koans fought for the Greeks in the classical mythology, the island was visited by Heracles.

The island was originally colonised by the Carians. The Dorians invaded it in the 11th century BC, establishing a Dorian colony with a large contingent of settlers from Epidaurus, whose Asclepiusmade their new home famous for its sanatoria. The other chief sources of the island's wealth lay in its wines and, in later days, in its silk manufacture. 

The Views from KOS Island

As a photographer you get to learn that there are some amazing places to take photographs. The Greek Islands are very beautiful and this image was taken from Kos. I thought it was a stunning new and really showed what you can see from some of the mountains on the island.

Its shape is approximately round, with a diameter of about 8 km (5 mi), and an area of 41.6 km2 (16.062 sq mi).
