We visited the foundation and it's museum while on holiday to Kos this summer. We found it really interesting to see the history of Hippocrates and his medical techniques. There was plenty of information written in both Greek and English. The botanical garden was also lovely to walk though as you could smell the herbs. The staff were really helpful and friendly, they also took us on a mini tour and showed us the main exhibits in the museum. Definitely worth a visit if you are interested in history and museums.

A must visit place on the Island of Kos. Steeped in historic roots...both Ancient, Mythological and Modern, this centre is dedicated to the work and studies of Hippocrates. It's a very peaceful place set in the countryside next to the ancient medical university of Kos. The botanic garden grows plants and trees of medicinal and healing value.
A must when visiting the island where hippocrates is from! Especially if you're interested in medicine, but the exhibits are excellent, to give an idea of how advanced medicine was back then. Relatively quick visit too, and admission is cheap. Just down the street from the temple ruins.
Great place , loads of history . Well looked after. Great for families too
Weird and therefore nice museum, botanical garden and former hospital. Gives a good impression of the works of Hippocrates. Entrance fee 2017: 3,–.
Anyone interested in the history of medicine needs to go here! It's not as big as they planned which is sad, but what's there is really well done
Really interesting place. Lots of info about Hippocrates and his work. For 3 euros you get a tour, information and then time to wonder for yourself, including in the garden. To sum up, this is somewhere that you should visit if you are in Kos, I suspect most tourists don't even know it is there.
If you are into history and want to learn about try origins of the scientific method, then give this place a visit
