Rhodes is an
outstanding island in the East of Mediterranean the largest one of
Dodecanesus, an island rich in its beauty and famous for its
history. Four large historic towns still testify its ancient glory
with their ruins. Ialysos, Camirus, Lindos, Rhodes itself where
buildings dating back to the Byzantium and the middle ages link that
distant age of prosperity in the life of today.
Philosophers, mathematicians, athletes, poets and sculptors, already
well-known in the age of Homer, lived in this flowery island. Some
of the most admirable works of art that matchless period, you can
see even today in the very surroundings of their creation. Rhodes,
owing its name to the rose, the sacred flower of Apollo, the god of
the sun, appears in the tradition as the nymph of this god.
Quite flowery under the bright blue sky, still bathed by the same
emerald sea, it always looks like a nymph. That ideal island
successfully combining the tradition with beauty and always
fascinating with it's charms.
All year round there are ferries and hydrofoils (from May until
November) from Marmaris to Rhodes every day, the journey by
hydrofoil takes about 50 minutes.
