Overview

At the city of Rhodes you'll find the small harbour Mandraki. At both of its entrance's sides a statue of a deer stands (the one is mail and the other female). On these deers did stand the eminent statue of Colossus of Rhodes. At the breakwater of the harbour you can also see the three windmills of Medieval Era.

The Medieval City of Rhodes astonishes its visitors. Walls, castles, galleries, fortresses and palaces offer a trip to the past. The city is encompassed from a medieval wall with seven gates and is separated in two parts: the northern, which includes the Knights' Acropolis and the Palace of the Great Magicians (Castelo) and the southern, where is Hora, the living place of the lower budgets.

Built amphitheatrically round the harbour is the Ancient City. During antiquity it was considered as one of the most beautiful cities. Hippodamos, an architect from Milos, built it. The streets were decorated with statues. Among them the most beautiful was that the one of Pluto. Scattered in Rhodes are Ancient Temples with most important those of Helios (Sun) and Hesis. The wall that encompasses the city covered almost 700 acres.

In southern Rhodes, near the settlement of Kataria, is Prasonisi. It is a cape connected with the main island with a narrow band of land, which gives the impression that is a separated island. The view from there is unique. You should enjoy its sunset.
