Pictured above, a photo of the 2nd terrace of the Asklepieion of Kos from the 3rd terrace, with the remains of a temple in the Corinthian order on the right, and the Ionic Temple of Asklepios on the left (36°52'33.5"N 27°15'26.9"E).
On the 3rd terrace of the ancient Asklepieion of Kos, is the Doric Temple of Aslkepios (pictured above). The Kerme Gulf with mainland Turkey in the background is hard to beat for a resting stop in this most important site. Pictured below is an ancient water pipe on the 3rd terrace.
Pictured below, the Ionic Temple of Asklepios.
