Other ancient names include Meropis, Cea, In many Romance languages, Kos was formerly known as Stancho, and in Ottoman and modern Turkish it is known as _stankoy, Under the rule of the Knights Hospitaller of Rhodes, it was known as Lango or Lango, presumably because of its length. Tourism is the main industry in Kos, the island's beaches being the primary attraction. The main port and population centre on the island, Kos town, is also the tourist and cultural centre, with whitewashed buildings including many hotels, restaurants and a number of nightclubs forming the Kos town \"barstreet\". In classical mythology the founder-king of Kos was Merops, hence \"Meropian Kos\" is included in the archaic Delian amphictyony listed in the 7th-century Homeric hymn to Delian Apollo; the island was visited by Heracles.\n
