The island of the sun and the knights

The famous capital of the Dodecanese —and the fourth largest Greek island— harmoniously combines medieval and traditional elements, lace-like beaches and pine-covered mountains, mountain villages and seaside hamlets, archaeological sites and cosmopolitan tourist resorts. 
The “Emerald Island”, as it is called, has a centuries-old history. It flourished in the 4th century BC, when the famous Colossus of Rhodes, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, was erected at its harbour. Byzantines, Knights of St John, Ottomans, and Italians passed successively through the land of Rhodes and left a strong mark on every corner.
The island resembles an open-air museum, where the past and present co-exist harmoniously. This is particularly noticeable in the Medieval Town, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, as well as in picturesque Lindos, with its imposing acropolis and the impressive 1920s buildings in the new town. 
Beyond its history, Rhodes is an island of stunning natural beauty. You will enjoy turquoise waters on its beaches and relish the shade of the towering pine and plane trees on its mountains. A feast of colours and sensations will captivate you, from the traditional small villages with their springs, small coves, caves, orange groves and vine-covered slopes, to the island’s highest mountain, the imposing Attavyros.
