Kos is a popular tourist destination in the Greek islands of the Dodecanese, located in the south-eastern part of the Aegean Sea, near the Turkish coast.

The Temple of Asclepius or Asclepieion of Kos was one of the most famous temples dedicated to Asclepius in the ancient world. The archeologist Rudolf Herzog, grandfather of Werner Herzog, excavated it in 1902, as the latter recounted in conversation with Paul Holdengräber. Kos Asklepieion is situated 7 km west of Cape Louros.
