Impressive 500 year old tree with a trunk of 12 meters in circumference.

This impressive tree is admirable for its trunk with a circumference of 12 meters. Time has tested it a lot and it is now maintained by metal constructions so that it does not collapse. According to legend, it was Hippocrates himself who planted it to teach in the shade of its foliage, but in reality, it is much more recent. It would have been a young growth 500 years ago, at most. Even if the metallic support structure takes away a little of the majesty of this century-old being, it is still touching.

Était renseigné en "must see" mais... Peu photogénique, sans grand intérêt car l'arbre semble mort ou presque... Le chateau en face, accessible par un pont en pierre, est bien plus digne d'intérêt et offre une belle vue sur la mer alentour !!

L'arbre d'Hippocrate sur Kos est impressionnant par sa taille mais les épreuves du temps ont obligé à un étayage, ce qui gâche la photo. Les alentours sont en réhabilitation après le dernier séisme.

L'arbre d'Hippocrate est bien fatigué et plus très photogénique. Les monuments alentours comme la mosquée porte les séquelles du tremblement de terre du 21 juillet 2017. Le lieu est néanmoins ombragé et invite à la détente... beaucoup de chats !

Une légende qui ne date certes pas d'Hippocrate mais qui permet d'honorer sa mémoire.
Les grilles de protections et la structure de support, métalliques, gâchent le plaisir des yeux. Restent l'environnement, rues et petite place, plutôt agréables.
Gratuit.

Très bel endroit, sur une petite place en hauteur. Arbre impressionnant.
A voir absolument.
