Rhodes is an outstanding island in the East of Mediterranean, the
largest one of Dodecanesus, an island rich in its beauty and famous
for its history. Four large historic towns still testify its ancient
glory with their ruins: Ialysos, Camirus, Lindos, Rhodes itself
where buildings dating back to the Byzantium and the middle ages
link that distant age of prosperity in the life of today.
Philosophers, mathematicians, athletes, poets and sculptors, already
well-known in the age of Homer, lived in this flowery island. Some
of the most admirable works of art that matchless period, you can
see even today in the very surroundings of their creation.
Rhodes, owing its name to the rose, the sacred flower of Apollo, the
god of the sun, appears in the tradition as the nymph of this god.
Quite flowery under the bright blue sky, still bathed by the same
emerald sea, it always looks like a nymph. That ideal island
successfully combining the tradition with beauty and always
fascinating with it's charms.
Day trip boats, hydrofoils, catamarans and ferries use the town quay
area.
