Churches & Monasteries
The Monastery of Agios Ioannis
The monastery of Agios Ioannis stands 7 km south of the beautiful settlement of Kefalos. It is built in an idyllic setting among plane
trees. Next to the monastery, its half-ruined bell-tower has been preserved. On its feast day of 29 August, many people flock here to pay
their respects to the saint.
Church of Agia Paraskevi
The church of Agia Paraskevi is situated in the town of Kos. It is a very large church, dominating the town's centre. The church's size,
along with its external beauty of beige and blue colours, are eye catching. Every year, a multitude of pilgrims come here from all over
the island.
Church of Ipapandi
The church of Ipapandi was built by St Christodoulos. It stands on the remains of a
Byzantine fortress in Pili village, west of Kos. Its
walls are embellished with 14th century frescoes. Inside, one can admire a marble altar based on four pillars. Significant findings are
exhibited in the Archaeological Museum of Kos. Its feast day is on the 2nd of February. From this site, the view to Kalymnos and Pserimos
is breathtaking.
