Continued From Kos Part I<\/p>\n

Just to the south of the stadium, on the south side of Panagi Tsaldari, is the Western Archaeological Zone (\u0394\u03c5\u03c4\u03b9\u03ba\u03cc\u03c2 \u0391\u03c1\u03c7\u03b1\u03b9\u03bf\u03bb\u03bf\u03b3\u03b9\u03ba\u03cc\u03c2 \u03a7\u03ce\u03c1\u03bf\u03c2) of Kos. There is an entrance to this area right at the corner where Panagi Tsaldari goes from a north-south street to an east-west street. The Western Archaeological Zone has seemingly flexible hours that very from year to year and season to season. The minimum opening time will be from 8:00 or 8:30 to 15:30 every day except Tuesday, when it is closed. In the summer, it could sometimes be open as late as 20:00. That was the posted time when I visited, but I have seen others report it could also be 15:30 at peak summer dates. Access is controlled with fences and gates, but not monitored and there is no entrance ticket for the site. There is also an entrance at the south side at Leoforos Grigoriou V.<\/p>\n
