Rhodes Travel Guide

Official no-frills guide to the island of Rhodes

Apparently "Rhodians are proud to note their city was the first ever built on an urban plan." Perhaps more enticing is the fact that Rhodes is home to one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, the Colossus, which was meant to have stood looking protectively over the entrance to Mandraki Harbour.

Here you can virtually travel past sandy beaches, the medieval Gate of Freedom and be seduced by the remains of the Temple of Aphrodite, but only if you click on the tiny square icons scattered through the text. Stand in wonder at the entrance to the imposing Medieval Palace of the Grand Master, then do some philosophical searching through the oriental bazaar on Socrates Street, before reaching the village of Lindos with its Doric Temple of Athena.

The visual gadgetry won't set you alight but it will show you what to expect when you arrive. You can also read about shopping, the latest 'happenings'(art events that cannot be missed), accommodation and travel services.
