The Gazi Hasan Pasha Mosque (Greek: Γαζί Χασάν Πασά Τζαμί; Turkish: Gazi Hasan Paşa Camii) is an Ottoman-era mosque in the Aegean island of Kos, in Greece. Built in the 18th century, it serves the Muslim-Turkish community of Kos, as one of the two out of the five Ottoman mosques to be still operational and open for prayers on Kos, the other being the Defterdar Mosque.[1] It is also one of the two mosques in Kos to be named after Gazi Hasan Pasha, the other being the one in Kos town.
