Rhodes or Rodos.

Rhodes, the island of the Sun, is the largest of the Dodekanese islands. It has become an important regional centre thanks to its location, climate and natural attractions.

The medieval city of Rhodes is still surrounded by the high Walls erected by the Knights. Here stands the Palace of the Grand Masters, which today houses a collection of 16th and 17th century furniture and Roman mosaic floors from Kos.

The island abounds in lovely and interesting places to visit, such as the Valley of the Butterflies, Filerimos Hill and Lindos. Finally there are splendid beaches all over the island, some of which are equipped with facilities for bathers and equipment for water sports.
