RhodesHolidays in Rhodes are truly unique, thanks to the combination of amazing

beaches, historic monuments, and nightlife.

The island of the Knights

Welcome to Rhodes, the capital of the Dodecanese, an island which is ideal not only for those who want to relax but also for those looking for an action-packed holiday! With its bright green hills, rich green valleys and uninterrupted line of golden beaches, Rhodes is truly a blessed place. Add in the excellent facilities for tourism, the island’s special blend of cosmopolitan and traditional, and numerous cultural and archaeological sites and you’ve got the perfect holiday destination.

Thanks to its strategic position, Rhodes has been important since ancient

times. The ancient city of Rhodes, the construction of which began in 407

BC, was designed according to the city planning system devised by the

greatest city planner of antiquity, Hippodamus of Miletus. Rhodes soon

developed into one of the most important seafaring and trading centres in

the Eastern Mediterranean. When it became a province of the Roman, and

later the Byzantine Empire, it initially lost its ancient glory. But in 1309 the

Knights of Saint John of Jerusalem conquered Rhodes.

They built strong fortifications to protect the island, turning it into an

important administrative centre and a thriving multinational medieval

city. In 1523 Rhodes was conquered by the Ottoman Turks, and the

Greeks had to settle outside the city walls. During the Ottoman

occupation, new buildings were erected within the Old Town, mainly

mosques and baths. In 1912 Rhodes and the rest of the Dodecanese,

were seized by the Italians. The new rulers embellished the city with

magnificent buildings, wide roads and squares. The Palace of the Grand

Master was rebuilt and the Street of the Knights was reconstructed in

order to regain its medieval purity. It was not until 1948 that Rhodes

officially became part of Greece. In 1988 the Medieval City of Rhodes was

listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site.

1) Ialyssos: A place with a very rich history. Ialyssos was one of the

grandsons of the sun god Helios, which has founded the city. You

may enjoy a breathtaking view on the city, from the Filerimos hill.

2) Ixia: A string of hotels, bars, and taverns. Long gravel and pebble

beaches.

3) Rhodes City: Rhodes is the capital of the island. As you enter one

of the largest medieval towns in Europe through the Gate of

Freedom, it soon becomes obvious that the Old Town of Rhodes is

a mosaic of different cultures and civilizations; rarely does a visitor

have the chance to stroll within medieval walls and explore

twenty-four centuries of history. The fascinating medieval fortress-

like buildings, the bastions, walls, gates, narrow alleys, minarets,

old houses, fountains, tranquil and busy squares make it feel like

you have stepped back into medieval times.

4) Kalithea: A cosmopolitan holiday resort bustling with hotels lining

Faliraki beach. In Kallithea the main attraction is the Roman baths

– a unique example of Orientalized Art Deco from 1929.

5) The ancient city-state of Líndos was one of the three major towns

of ancient Rhodes thanks to its great naval power. The remains of

the acropolis of Líndos, a natural watchtower facing the open sea

built on a steep rock 116 meters above sea level, bear eloquent

witness to its long standing power and wealth.

6) And so many many more
