Kos Town: ʻO ke kapikala mokupuni kiʻi me ka flair hikina

ʻO ka mokupuni ʻo Helene ʻo Kos kekahi o nā mokupuni hoʻomaha maikaʻi loa ma ka Dodecanese. ʻIke ʻia no kona mau kahakai nani, hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike i nā hiʻohiʻona hoihoi a puni ke kapikala mokupuni o ka inoa hoʻokahi. ʻOi aku ma mua o ka hapalua o ka poʻe mokupuni e noho ana ma ke kūlanakauhale awa. Ma ke ʻano he kikowaena hoʻokele waiwai a me ka moʻomeheu, ʻo Kos ke kūlanakauhale mokupuni nui a me ke kikowaena mākaʻikaʻi i ka manawa like.

He waiwai ʻo Kos Town i ka mōʻaukala i hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike i kēia lā i nā monuments kahiko a me nā hale kākela medieval, nā hale pule Byzantine a me nā hale pule Ottoman.

Ma nā alanui mālie me nā hale kūʻai liʻiliʻi a me nā hale inu ʻoluʻolu, hiki iā ʻoe ke haʻalele koke i ke ola o kēlā me kēia lā. No ka mākaʻikaʻi ʻana iā Kos, he wahi hoʻomaka maikaʻi ke awa ʻo Mandráki.

Kiaʻi ʻo Nerátzia Castle i ke komo ʻana o ke awa o Kos.

Hiki ke kiʻi ʻia ma o Plantanenplatz. Aia ma luna o laila kahi lāʻau o Hippocrates, ka mea i ʻōlelo ʻia na ke kupuna o ka lāʻau i kanu iā ia iho. Ma ka puka ʻākau o ke kahua ʻeli kahiko ʻo Agorá e piʻi ai ka mosque loggia me kahi punawai hoʻomaʻemaʻe.

Ua wehe ka ʻauʻau Turkish ma Kos i kona mau puka ma hope o ka hale hoʻokolokolo ma Plantanenplatz i ka kenekulia 17. Ua hana ʻia ka hale ʻike ʻole a hiki i ka makahiki 1948. Ma hope o ia mea he hale kūʻai paʻakai.

Kuʻi ka puʻuwai o Ko ma Eleftherías Square. Aia ʻaʻole mamao loa mai ke awa ʻo Mandráki, kono ia wahi iā ʻoe e hoʻomaha i ke kau waena a hiki i ka pō. I ka lā, e kali ana kahi hustle a me ka puʻupuʻu i loko o nā hale ʻaina a me nā cafe. Ma ke alo o ka Hale Hōʻikeʻike Archaeological o Kos, pono ke kipa aku i ka hale kūʻai ola.

ʻO ka Defterdar Mosque mai ka wā o nā aliʻi o Ottoman. Ma hope o ka "Tax Gate", kahi e uku ai nā mea kālepa i ka ʻauhau ma ka Middle Ages. Mai laila aku hiki iā ʻoe ke hōʻea i ka Odós Naflírou. Hoʻonohonoho ʻia nā hale ʻaina Rustic ma ke alanui Bar o Kos.

Ke hoʻi nei i Elefthería Square, e alakaʻi ʻia ʻoe ma mua o ka Defterbar Mosque a me Market Hall i ka Casa Romana ma Kos. Ua manaʻo ʻia ʻo ia ke kūkulu hou ʻana o kahi villa Roma ma ka ʻāina Helene.

ʻO ka ʻeli ʻana o ke komohana me ka mosaic "Judgment of Paris" a me ka basilica Karistiano mua e pili pono ana i ke kūlanakauhale kahiko o Kos. ʻO nā mea koʻikoʻi ʻo ka Gymnasium, Nymphaeum a me Westtherme. ʻO nā kiʻi pena kiʻi nani e kali nei iā ʻoe ma ka villa Roma "House of Europe".

Aia ma kahi kokoke i ka Western Excavations o Kos, ua hoʻohana ʻia ka Odeon ma ke ʻano he kahua no nā hālāwai ʻaha kūkā, nā hana a me nā hoʻokūkū. Hiki i ka hale keaka Roma ke noho i 750 kanaka.

Hiki ke kipa ʻia nā ʻeli ʻana o Asklepieion ma ʻehā mau kilomita ma waho o ke kūlanakauhale ʻo Kos. I ka wā kahiko, ʻo ka ʻāina ākea ka hale nui loa no ka hoʻomana haipule a me nā lāʻau lapaʻau. Ma ka ʻāina kiʻekiʻe ke nānā aku ʻoe mai Kos a hiki i ke kahakai o Asia Minor, kahi i kahi lā maopopo e ʻike ai ʻoe iā Turkish Bodrum a me Halicarnassus kahiko.

Ma ka ʻaoʻao hema-hikina o Kos, ke kali nei ʻo Agios Geórgios i hoʻonani maikaʻi ʻia i ka hale pule ʻo Byzantine-style. Hoʻolauleʻa ʻia ka lā o Saint George ma laila i ka lā 23 ʻApelila. Ke hele koke ʻoe i mua o ka hale kapu, hāʻawi kēia wahi iā ʻoe i kahi hiʻohiʻona nani ma luna o ka Aegean.

Ma kahi huakaʻi mai ke kūlanakauhale ʻo Kos, ua manaʻo ʻia ʻo Embros Therme ka wahi hope loa ma ka ʻaʻahu ʻo Agios Fokás ma mua o ka hāʻule ʻana o nā mauna Dikeos i ke kai. He ala haiki e hiki aku ai i ke kahakai o Agios Fokás. Ma laila, hui pū kekahi pūnāwai sulfur wela 49 °C me ka wai kai hou. Ua ʻike ka poʻe mokupuni i ka hopena hoʻōla o ka ʻauʻau wela.

Ua lawe ʻia ka hapa nui o nā kiʻi me kaʻu Huawei P10 a hoʻoponopono ʻia me Google Picasa.
