About Ancient Agora East Zone
The Ancient Agora "East Zone", also known as the Ancient Market, stands as a remarkable archaeological site, boasting the remnants of temples, baths, and residences adorned with preserved mosaics, columns, and various architectural fragments from different historical eras. Beyond its designation as a mere marketplace, this excavation area holds a wealth of historical significance waiting to be uncovered. Stretching across a considerable expanse, the Ancient Market reveals intriguing insights into the past. Noteworthy discoveries include a section of wall constructed from sizable stones, measuring 80 meters in length and towering 2.5 meters high. Positioned in the eastern region of Kos, south of the Kos Castle, the Ancient Market excavation site offers visitors a captivating panoramic vista. A useful tip for tourists is to explore the area during the late afternoon or early evening, as it conveniently borders the lively thoroughfare known as "The Street of the Bars," a hub of Kos's nightlife scene.
