BLACK WINGS AND PINK PAWS, BETWEEN OLD MEMORIES – Welcome to the island of Kos, Greece

http://www.visitgreece.gr/ The second largest island in the Dodecanese, with a pleasant climate and a fertile land. As early as 3000 BC many people coming here (where the Romans and the Knights of St. John, Turks, Italians and Germans arrived), and where are you now, in the island of Kos, in Greece, a land strewn with a multitude of archaeological sites and beautiful beaches (especially those in the south-west). Of course, if you love water sports, you’ll need to go to the north-west of the island. You feel like a hike? No problem: the hinterland waiting for you, with its traditional air. Try to get to the Asklepieion, to admire its white marble terraces, carved above the green hills of pines. Breathing this air, and looking around, you will understand why this place is one of the most important classical sites of Greece (do not forget to photograph the seven columns of the Temple of Apollo). http://www.kos.gr/en/default.aspx

Hippocrates (the father of our medical science), was born here, by classifying diseases and designing diagnostic and curative methods. Arriving on the wooded slopes of Mount Dikaios, you can admire a picturesque group of villages: Asfendiou and Agios Dimitrios, Asomatos Zia and, Lagoudini and Evangelistria: everything is white, houses and churches. Time of sea, now let Tigkaki and Marmari, to choose our sand wedge (if you want, you can go windsurfing), I prefer to take a boat excursion to the island of Pserimos (but I will go also to the salt flats of Alykes, to photograph avocets and knights of Italy. Yes, I hope to capture at least a beautiful photograph black wings and tapered pink paws of those birds. http://www.kos.gr/en/accommodation/SitePages/view.aspx?nID=657
