About Rhodes
Rhodes the beloved nymph of god ‘Helios’ (sun) with its diamond shape and glamour is the largest in size island of the Dodecanese. Small and rocky uninhabited islands surround it and most of the island is covered by with forest and natural water fountains.
Majestic Towers : the high walls give an impression of the large castle from the time of knighthood, which came in contrast with the Minarets that reminds of the passing of the Turks from the island.
The Palace of the Grand Magistros : it is decorated with statues from the 2 nd and 1 st BC mosaics from Kos and wooden carvings that with the intervention from the Italians later on, which changed to the glamorous and artful constructions.
National Art Gallery : at the square of Simi the reconstructed building that accommodates the gallery of the island that includes work of painters, sculptors and carvers of the 20 th century.
The Temple of immaculate and uncomparable beauty- the temple of Afrodite scintillates the square. The Italians came again to leave their mar, placing behind the temple an old Christine Baptist church built on the 5 th to 6 th century from fire proof rock.
