Rhodes is the capital of the Dodecanese and one of the most fascinating islands in the Mediterranean. It is a crossroads of history where the legends of the ancient Colossus meet the imposing heritage of the Knights of Saint John. Its old town, one of the best preserved medieval complexes in Europe and a World Heritage Site, is a labyrinth of cobbled streets, walls, mosques and Gothic palaces. Beyond the walled city, the island unfolds into a landscape of golden beaches, a green and mountainous interior, and whitewashed towns dominated by ancient acropolises. Rhodes is a complete island that perfectly satisfies the historical traveler, the beach lover and the nature explorer.
