Rhodes


Detail in the old city of Rhodes.

Rhodes island in the South East of Greece is a famous summer tourist destination. This is where one of the seven wonders of the ancient world was located. The "Colossus of Rhodes" was a statue representation of god Helios and stood over the port entrance of the city.
The medieval city and the palace of the Grand Master of the Knights can travel your thoughts in a world long forgotten! Sad but true, because of the great number of visitors in some cases the old city looks like it has lost its charm. Nevertheless it remains a great place to visit which will prove even better if you avoid peak tourist periods!
