Antimachia Castle: Built in the early 14th century by the Order of the Knights of Saint John, works were intensified at the end of the 15th century, particularly in 1494 as can be seen from the inscription above the main gate.

The ruins of the Basilica of Agios Stefanos in Kamari Bay, Kefalos, Kos. The beautiful landscape is completed by Kastri, the small rocky island in the gulf, just 50 meters in diameter, which houses the small chapel of St. Nicholas.
Plaka Forest

Difficult to find and down a track in awful condition, the forest of Plaka is located near Antimachia, Kos. The cats did look pretty chilled, but I actually found it quite disturbing. Maybe the cats enjoy living there in isolation, but I just wanted to take them all home and love them and it was very hard to leave them.
