|
Rhodes, the largest of the Dodecanese islands, is not an
ordinary holiday resort but a cosmopolitan place of international reputation.
Indeed, this relatively limited space, endowed with innumerable natural
beauties, is rightly considered a tourists' Paradise. Holidays here are not restricted to the three summer months, as the
sunny period lasts much longer.
In Rhodes everyone can choose their preferred type of holiday -
the intensity of an excellently equipped major resort or the peace and quiet of
a small, traditional seaside or mountain village.
Swimming in the crystal-clear waters of Rhodes is equally
fascinating on populous beaches or on isolated pebbled seashores.
Lovers of history will be drawn to the remarkable
monuments all over the island, signs of its long past.Those who prefer mobility will find an adequate network of roads
enabling them to reach almost every corner of the island. Daily air and sea
communications with other islands, numerous tourist agencies open limitless
horizons to the traveller. By its present reality, Rhodes would resemble a rose (rhodon in
Greek) rather than the mythical nymph after whom the island was allegedly named.
Rhodes is 260 nautical miles from Piraeus.It's very close to the coasts of Near East.Rhodes, the pearl of the Mediterranean as they call it, is a very interesting island not only for it's natural beauty, but also for the archeological treasures.
