Rhodes travel


city of rhodesRhodes is the furthest south eastern island of Greece and the largest island of the Dodecanes, a complex of islands in the south of the Aegean Sea. It is a very popular, cosmopolitan island, where both Venetian and Turkish influence are apparent, giving it a special charm. The continual sunshine - an average 300 days of sunshine a year, the mild climate and the geographical position are the main factors that Rhodes was inhabited already in prehistoric times. The city is divided in two. The new city with its modern buildings, hotels, fashionable and traditional shops and numerous restaurants and the medieval walled city, full of impressive 15th century buildings. Rhodes is a big island with a lot to see. We suggest to visit the town of Lindos located southeast of Rhodes, where the Acropolis of Lindos, is situated. The Valley of the butterflies is also worth a visit. For swimming we present you some of the beautiful beaches of Rhodes. 

New City of Rhodes

Don’t forger to visit Mandraki, the yacht harbor of Rhodes, where the two bronze deer welcome you to the city. Erected where probably the famous Colossus of Rhodes one of the Wonders of the World- used to stand.
