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.

Beau platane nommé Hippocrate. Il surplombe une partie de la place et il donne de l'ombrage. Idéal pour flaner, manger une glace ou déguster un jus d'orange fait maison. Dommage qu'il soit maintenu à cause de son grand âge par des structures métalliques.

L'intérêt est vraiment son grand âge et l'histoire d’Hippocrate ... C'est vrai que les armatures en ferraille doivent le soutenir, ce qui n'est pas vraiment esthétique.
Le château de l'autre côté de la rue est de mon humble avis plus intéressant.

A beautiful tree in the charming historic town of Kos. You can admire around a well built from remains of ancient Rome, the old town as well as the tower of the fortress of the Knight about Saint Jean ' Order of Malta ', as well as the agora ancient Greek old town.
In the city centre Kos afternoon snack absolutely ice cream orange or orange juice served in the cafes located near the tree of Hippocrates. The orange is a fruit grown on the island is full of sugar and excellent.

This tree is actually if I reminder, descendant of planted by HIPPOCRATES. This tree is really impressive structure maintenance metal spoils the beauty of the place, anything else could have been plan in order to keep the aesthetics and spirituality, but it is only my humble opinion.
