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. |
