Rhodes
 


When the gods divided the world among themselves, so an ancient legend goes, Helios (the God of
sun) noticed an island emerging from the sea. He was so fascinated by its beauty that he immediately asked Zeus whether he might have this island as his share.

Rhodes was that island, an island that glided, and glides still, like a dolphin, over the waves in the transparent seas of the south – eastern Aegean, where West meets East. Wreathed in golden beaches, with bright green hills and valleys, and bathed in the light of the god Helios (her ancient patron), it is a place favoured by nature, made on a human scale.

Rhodes is situated in the Southeast Aegean in the Mediterranean Sea and it is the third largest of the Greek islands. Being at the cross-roads of two continents, Rhodes combines the worldliness of Europe with the mystery of the Orient in an atmosphere that is truly fascinating.

Discovering Rhodes, you discover Greece: Ancient cities, a medieval town with its castle, charming small villages, sun drenched beaches are all found on Rhodes.

But Rhodes is more than that… It is the one of the most developed islands in the Mediterranean and it provides its visitors with every holiday or meeting amenity, including large and modern hotels of international standards,
yachting harbour, entertaining night life, casino, sports facilities, duty free shopping and many more...

The airport of Rhodes is International with direct flights to major international cities and other Aegean islands. Throughout the year, a number of cultural activities take place on the island, including “Sound & Light” shows in the Grand Master’s Palace and ancient Greek tragedies in the Medieval Theatre of the town.

Having always been a magnet for visitors, Rhodes is considered all over the world as the real holiday paradise, an island which mixes the historical interest with the cosmopolitan way of life as well as the natural beauty and the perfect climate. With 300 sunny days per year, the island holds not only the Greek sunshine record, but also the European as well. Its remarkably rich legacy in archaeological treasures and its developed tourism infrastructure make Rhodes more attractive than any other vacation or meeting place of the world.

Rhodes, after all, boasts all the ingredients to be an unrivalled incentive and meeting destination. It is the ancient, traditional, cultural and scenic characteristics which place it virtually on the top position.

Present-day, Rhodes is a medieval/modern amalgam which impresses and fascinates visitors. Its medieval aspect, fortified behind an impressive wall, merges harmoniously with the refined, cosmopolitan air of a modern resort with luxurious hotels, broad avenues with lines of trees, and rich commercial stores.

Rhodes in the spring… enjoy your residence on an island where the sweet, cool breezes are given fragrance, by the blossoming trees and the sea while nature beckons you. Take a walk up the hillside of Mount Smith, blooming with flowers, and wander amidst the ruins of the ancient acropolis, bathed in light. The remnants of the temples of Athena, Apollo and Zeus look as if they are still inhabited by the gods. the Stadium and the Odeum, with its idiosyncratic quadrangle form, constitute traces of a civilization, which worshipped beauty, both of the body and the soul...
