Kos never ceases to amaze me - with its beauty and diversity, and the wonderful hospitality of its people. But the island also offers puzzles that can sometimes take years to solve. You like the search for the Piso Thermi, that mysterious thermal spring that is shown on numerous maps, but of which few seem to know where it really is and even fewer how to reach it.
On July 21, 2017, at about 1:30 local time, a seaquake occurred with a magnitude of 6.7 on the Moment magnitude scale. It caused destruction especially in Kos town with two people killed and at least 100 wounded. During the earthquake, the Shadirvan (well) of the Loggia Mosque was destroyed (see photo). At Eleftherías Square, the minaret of the Defterdar Mosque collapsed, its Şadırvan bore severe damage and also threatened to collapse.
