MAGICAL LOCATION
THE COLOSSUS OF RHODES
According to tradition, in the place of the dears at the harbour, once stood the Colossus. The ships sailed under its legs and the passage was closed at night with a chain. It is one of the most extraordinary ‘stories’ the Aegean Sea has to tell!
POPULAR LINDOS
The ancient acropolis of Lindos, one of the most popular pilgrimage sites of antiquity, enclosed by the walls of the Knights, stands at an altitude of 116m. Here you will admire the impressive temple of Lindian Athena, built in Dorian style the 4th century B.C.
THE FAMOUS FALIRAKI OF RHODESΥ
The most popular and favourite destination for young British tourists in Rhodes. Here excitement runs high, the music is loud and the alcohol…flows. A paradise for the lovers of adrenaline with all the water sports.
BUTTERFLIES IN THE VALLEY
In a lush canyon there is a forest unique in Greece with oriental sweet gums, trees that look like sycamores. The scent of the juice they secret attract millions of butterflies of the Panaxia quandripunctaria species with the characteristic four orange dots on each wing.
COSMOPOLITAN MANDRAKΙ
It is the modern city of Rhodes at the little harbour of Mandraki where on two tuff columns you will see the symbols of the island: the dear and the doe. At the edge of the pier of the harbour rises the small fort of Saint Nicolas, built in 1464-67.
THE STREET OF THE KNIGHTS
The most famous street of the Old Town of Rhodes is the street of the Knights, restored to the way it was during the medieval period. Here you will find the lodgings of the ethnic groups that comprised the Order of the Hospitallers. The highest point of the street is dominated by the impressive Castello, the Palace of the Grand Master.
