The Roman Odeon in Kos Town was built in the 2nd century AD, was consequently damaged by the 142 AD earthquake, then repaired during the reign of Emperor Antoninus Pius (AD 137-161).

The pine forest of Plaka can be found through the road west of Antimachia, taking the 2.5km paved road that leads off right to the forest and its colourful, feathery creatures.
