How to Plan a Trip to the Gorgeous Greek Island of Kos

"A historic plane tree located at the Castle of Neratzia traditionally associated with Hippocrates; visitors come to see the tree said to mark the spot where he regularly taught under its shade. The current specimen is allegedly around 500 years old, making it one of the oldest trees in Europe." - Stacey Leasca Stacey Leasca Stacey Leasca is an award-winning journalist and co-founder of Be a Travel Writer, an online course for the next generation of travel journalists.
