The Island
Rhodes in Greek Ρόδος (Ródos) is the largest island of the Dodecanese, located southeast of mainland Greece, in the Aegean Sea.
A mixture of cultures and contrasts, imbued with rich history that has its starting point at the Neolithical Era. Renowned for its beauty ever since ancient times, Rhodes has been a major commercial centre of the Mediterranean. It produced superb art, creating one of the 7 Wonders of the Ancient World, the Colossus of Rhodes, a work accomplished by Charis, sculptor from Lindos.
Due to its geographical position, it became the apple of discord for a number of conquerors: The Knights, the Ottomans, the Italians formed what is now current Rhodes, leaving their traces, their culture and architecture thus making their presence felt everywhere. Ancient Greek temples, Byzantine churches, Medieval castles, synagogues and mosques, Italian, neoclassical and modern buildings co-exist side by side harmoniously in this island of spellbinding beauty. Rhodes keeps its splendour till today and is one of the most popular tourist destinations worldwide.
The Dama Dama young deer at the Mandraki port are a hallmark of the island, welcoming you and promising unforgettable holidays in the emerald island: whichever corner you may visit, you will live a variety of experiences. Just going through a gate of the famous Medieval city is enough to take you to a journey to another, fairy-tale world.
Cosmopolitan and quiet, traditional and modern, it is waiting for you to discover it from one end to the other. The dreamy seashores with the green blue waters and white, wide sandy beaches, the spectacular forests full of colours and scents, the traditional gastronomy and the hospitality of the locals will leave you more than satisfied, no matter how demanding travellers you may be and will make you want to return again and again.
Apart from the cosmopolitan tourist resorts, the beautiful traditional villages invite you to share wonderful experiences in company with the locals that you will treasure forever.
The Island of the Knights, the emerald island, the island of the sun, the Lady of the Mediterranean. No matter how you may call it, Rhodes enchants its visitors from the very first moment they set eye on it.
So, start the magical journey and let the island of the sun reveal itself!
