Best place to see the mosque is from any one of the restaurants that are dotted around the square. Sitting there drinking a cold chocolate with the September sun on you and watching the world go by is my idea of bliss, no hustle or bustle just great relaxation and people watching. As for the mosque it suffered some damage during the earth tremors of 2017 and looks a little the worse for it. The square is a tapestry of the history of Kos, the mosque, the delightful art deco buildings (courtesy the Italians) etc.
