About Rhodes
The island of the Knights — a UNESCO medieval old town, the Colossus legend, beautiful beaches, Lindos acropolis, and 300+ days of sunshine.
Rhodes is the largest of the Dodecanese islands — a fascinating blend of ancient Greek, medieval Crusader, and Ottoman heritage. Rhodes Old Town is one of the best-preserved medieval cities in Europe (UNESCO) — massive walls, cobblestone lanes, and the Palace of the Grand Master. Lindos offers a whitewashed village crowned by an ancient acropolis. The beaches are varied — from party beaches near Faliraki to secluded bays in the south. Rhodes also has Ottoman mosques, Byzantine churches, and the site of the ancient Colossus — one of the Seven Wonders.
