Hippocrates's Tree

In the middle of Kos, we can admire the giant tree of Hippocrates, who was the father of medicine (460 BC). Legend has it that he sat here under its broad leaves to give lessons to his disciples, taking medicine to the same level as science rather than leaving it seen as a form of witchcraft or magic. Hippocrates was the first to catalogue the different treatments for various diseases. Highly recommended.
