"I must admit that even at my age, this was my first time at the seaside. I can say for myself, I knew what paradise is like," says Alena Seifertová, a station nurse at the oncology hospital. "I would like to thank everyone who nominated me for a week's stay on the island of Kos. I can only rate everything positively: the hotel, accommodation, food, sea, beach, cultural programmes during the day and evening, the landscape, the boat trip, the town of Kos, the good people - what more can I say... A wonderful holiday, for which the owner and the management of Hořovice Hospital deserve great thanks," says the Hořovice nurse.
The island of Kos was chosen partly because of its symbolism - it is the place where the most famous doctor of all times, the ancient Hippocrates, was born and worked, but also because it is one of the most beautiful Greek resorts. The Atlantis hotel complex, located right on the beach, is set in well-kept gardens with exotic flora and palm trees. Near the hotel is the centre of the famous resort of Lambi, where there are many excellent restaurants, tavernas, bars and shops.
"It was our first time visiting the Greek islands. My colleague and I thoroughly enjoyed our holiday on the island of Kos, full of sun, beautiful beaches and clear sea," says Mgr. Irena Smutná, head nurse of the central reception. "We will remember many experiences with a smile for a long time. It was the first time we visited the Greek islands. Thank you to all the hospital staff who sent me on holiday," adds the Hořovice nurse.
The health workers from Beroun and Hořovice were also able to visit the first ancient hospital Asklepion and other ancient monuments in Kos, which is said to be one of the most beautiful Greek cities. As evidenced by their photographs (see photo gallery), they walked past ancient houses, a knight's castle and embraced the legendary Hippocratic plane tree. It was possible to drive around the whole island in a rented car.
