KOS (Town) DODEKANISSOS
The church is inside the actual cemetery, southwards to the Kos city. The ground
plan shows a circle with four semicircular corner conchs and one in the middle
of the eastern side, inscribed in a quadrangle. Two more conchs in the middle
of southern and northern side, along with the five mentioned above, gave the
church this name. One concentric colonnade in the interior, formed of eight unfluted
columns, has been replaced by walls. The entrance is in the middle of the western
side of the church.
The church was originally an early christian baptistery of the 5th
- 6th century, which belonged to a basilica, partly excavated and complemented
during the Italian occupation. No trace of it is seen today. It is perhaps the
only early christian baptistery, that has remained almost intact up to this day
and remains still in use as a cemetery church.
Frescoes of 12th - 13th century, with scenes of the life of St. John
the Precursor have been recently discovered, as well as others of the 16th century.
The church' s masonry presents some interesting elements, such as the use of hellenistic
frieze with garlands on the lower part of the sanctuary apse, architraves, bases,
early christian mullions, pilaster- capitals etc. in various parts of the walls.

ARCHANGELOS (Small town) RHODES
The monastery of St George nearby the castle of Archngelos. Step inside and admire the modern fresco of St George slaying the dragon. The icing sugar tower of the church is easily picked out from this vantage point, finding a route down to it through the maze of narrow streets is a different matter. It lies at the heart of the old town crowded in by houses. The wedding-cake style of church tower is commonly seen on this island and others in the Dodecanese group but this one at Archangelos is one of the prettiest. Cross vaulting, instead of the more usual barrel vault, is also a feature of church architecture on the island.
ARCHIPOLI (Village) RHODES
The monastery of Ag Nectarios, nearby the Seven Springs. An archway leads to steps up to the grandiose Byzantine style church guarded by columnar cypress trees. The separate campanile, with a tiered construction, is borrowed from a later period. Picnic tables are provided just outside the church.
