Rhodes: the island map

Rhodes sights map

Rhodes is divided into 2 parts, have received specific names – the Old (Medieval) and New town. Old, surrounded by sturdy walls of the fortress, was built by the knights. There is a sense that here time stands still: paved with cobblestones, narrow alleys, small squares, mosques and churches, a synagogue and various knightly buildings shrouded bygone times.

Also everyone, who is interested in the Rhodes map of the island will show that it is divided into 2 inner sections that are separated before the wall. They got the names of the Choir and Kollakio. The latter was the abode of the knights in the middle ages, and today there remains a variety of structures that store the memory of the life of the time.

Part of the Choir previously occupied by public buildings and houses of the local population. Here not without a synagogue and various churches.

Almost all residents live in houses whose age is over one hundred years, while at the present time, some ancient buildings are quite nice resorts and hotels.photo of Rhodes Greece

Local cuisine

Explore the island with excursions – is an empty case, like to hear stories about the island. Greece is full of amazing areas that you need to see with my own eyes. Need to take the car, stop at any picturesque bays, the medieval castle and the Church, to wander dusty trails, swim in the bays of incredible beauty... In the mountains to seek out villages, white houses with colored patterns are arranged on the walls, unique taverns, in addition, unshaven old men in old hats, who peacefully SIP of the retsina or ouzo. Need to Park the car in such villages (such as Siana and Archangelos), go to any tavern and surrender of thisthe national food.

It's Worth a try to start olives, crusty bread, olive oil, tzatziki (light yogurt with garlic, cucumber and herbs). Further, dolma, moussaka (a cooked casserole of meat and vegetables) and, of course, Greek salad.

It's all you can taste, richly flavored with a soft Emery wine or ouzo and picking up at intervals of 5 minutes your glasses, with each glass getting louder shouting: “JICA!”

Lindos Donkeys

On the island donkey – it's something like a taxi. If you do not want to climb the Acropolis – come to free the donkey, which can be found directly on the Central square. They are sad people walking looking around and twitching his ears. Need not be too familiar with these animals – they have a well developed sense of pride.

Sam Lindos – it is a small town in the Bay, where found shelter the Apostle Paul. Where he once stepped on shore, a white Church. While on the surface of the sea you can see the rock on its peak stands the medieval castle, which is the ancient Acropolis of Athens (Christianity with antiquity here is quite cool mixed, with the feeling that they're in each other all the time flow). Streets of the town paved with classic Greek mosaic colace that looks amazing among blue and white – at Rhodes, a sea of blue and white huts. White linen dresses splashing on the Windows like sails. Myths say that once the ancient gods were able to overcome the chaos, setting the world on Earth. On the island there is a feeling that this is indeed the case and there is…weather in Rhodes

Beaches

Truly incredible is able to give Greece vacation! Rhodes bordering the Eastern Mediterranean sea, and from the opposite – the Aegean. These seas are not alike: so, the Mediterranean is quiet, and the Aegean – rapid. They are so different fans: some lovers of quiet family holiday, others – the windsurfers, who are praising wind and waves.

Choosing the best beaches of Rhodes, you need to consider that, to Aegean shores, the characteristic pebbles, but on the Mediterranean it is mostly found in the sand, therefore, the main resorts-Faliraki, Kolymbia, Lindos, Kallithea – are concentrated in this place. Tsambika, the most popular sandy beach, is located at Kolymbia. Here, like with postcards: broad gold line the beach and the deep blue sea. While this place is enough space for deck chairs, fun games, and building sand castles.

Near the beach on the hill is the monastery of tsambika. Here from all over Greece go women who are unable to get pregnant. Kids born after visiting the monastery, usually called Tsambika or Tsampika – and on the island, many of those names. In the yard there is another miracle – a rare hybrid of a boxwood, and oak: so, on one branch of the tree at the same time grow serrated and smooth leaves. This unique hybrid, which in principle should not, for about 2,000 years.

About Kolymbia is a reserve “7 sources”. Here is a long dark tunnel filled with ice water. The residents of the resort believe that, overcoming fear and going ankle-deep in water on the tunnel, it is possible to be cleansed from the 7 sins, and then be released a changed man.

Rhodes history

Everyone knows how rich Greece. Rhodes, like every large island of Europe, located in the warm seas, prone to regular change of owners, and steeped in secrets. Rhodes, above all, the famous Colossus-a statue of Helios, the height of which is 35 m. the Sculptor hares put it at the entrance to the harbour. The duration of the life of this world wonder was short-lived: it stood for 56 years, falling during the earthquake, but having to bring fashion to the huge statue. At the behest of the Oracle, the ban to recover the wreck, the remains had lain untouched for nearly a thousand years, after which they disappeared or were sold to Arabs, while leaving the memory of mankind the phrase ‘feet of clay".Rodos in July

Periodically and their masters changed Rhodes. Greece, map have always been curious, do not just give the island one owners. The most striking of them is the Order of the Hospitallers, better known under the name Maltese. Since the protection of pilgrims, after the death of Gerard, the founder, it's own functionality was expanded to the protection of the Holy Sepulchre, then by fighting against the infidels. After that took an active part in the Crusades. Then the order came to Cyprus, and then Rhodes. Here he was in a period 1309-1522. we Can assume that the Grand Master's Palace would be the main decoration of the old part of the city, if it had not been blown up in 1856 by the Turks who drove out the Hospitallers. At the present moment in his place is the Grand Palace, created the to Mussolini in the thirties of the last century.

Resort Architecture

In the historical center of Rhodes town has something to see except the Palace. A special reason for pride are well-preserved medieval walls. Within them – about two hundred small streets, unnamed, radiating from a large web-like street of Socrates, or of the Crusaders. The latter was laid in place of the one that once led to the port. In the early sixteenth century there had been the metochion of the various “languages” of Order, in a manner of branches – German, English, French, Italianand others. The distinctive features of each nation are reflected in the architecture, for example, in French the compound you can see the graceful lilies of Bourbon, which can also be seen in the photo of the island of Rhodes. Greece has a rich and unique history, therefore this is not surprising.

In Lindos, the second largest city of the resort, the Acropolis remained not so good, but it is on the rock. It offers a stunning view of the Bay which bears the name of the Apostle Paul. Near the ruins of the temple of Athena lindia comely relax pensioners and cats, heroically overcame many leading to the top of the stairs. In the middle of the path catches the eye of a silhouette of a trireme carved in stone, – a military vehicle of the local ancient inhabitants. Their descendants prefer the farm to have other means of transportation-donkeys, willingly handed to tourists who storm the Acropolis for rent. In addition, local residents are selling Souvenirs: miniature statues of the Colossus, shells, and shawls.Greece holidays Rhodes

Wild lips

But amidst all this fun stuff washcloths – the main attraction a gift of the Dodecanese. They are made of absolutely wild sea sponges. Dodecanese – it is an archipelago, it also Rhodes refers to as 150 small Islands and 11 major. Sponges actively hunting on the island of Symi, where you can get on a double deck of the huge ship from the port of Rhodes, which is called a pleasure boat, by some strange oversight. In Symi houses painted in bright enough colors in order that though somehow to compete with the intense color of the sea. While here in restaurants, buying him gifts. On the other hand is the monastery of the Archangel Michael, the former was originally a centre of Orthodoxy in the country.

Back here with a sponge and therefore being in a good mood, you can wash at any of the numerous cafes and bars of Faliraki, which is located fifteen kilometers from the capital. It is the center of nightlife of the island, but here the day is interesting: there is a water Park and all the necessary conditions for water sports. Close to the Waterpark is a four-star hotel Louis Colossos, the advantages of which are considered clean sea and green area, but that is what appeals to many in Greece, Rhodes. 4 stars hotels here are excellent level of service. So, an alternative to the Louis Colossos could be the Blue Sea 4* – it serves national cuisine and enjoy Greek nights.

Sail

There are two resorts that are like windsurfers around the world – Ialyssos and Ixia. The wind, pebbles, and waves – 3 elements of success that ensure the resorts enviable reputation. The first is the Procenter center whose staff will help to arrange the best worldwide surf vacation. And when the wind zakapriznichal, it is possible to go and see the wreckage of the temples of Athena and Zeus, reminiscent of the period when Ialyssos was still the largest Doric city. Incidentally, the Acropolis of Ialyssos is located on the hill of Filerimos, about the modern city. There you can climb in order to assess the landscape of Rhodes. But Ixia boasts a huge choice of hotels, so here you can meet surfers, and people in strict business suits, came here for a conference. By the way, for business people, the perfect Greece, Rhodes. 4 stars hotels you can find here without any problems, the level of service will not disappoint anyone.Greece Rhodes photo

Next to the Church of Saint Nektarios the gentle wind of Meltemi in a hot haze lazily chasing down a soccer ball.
