The city of Rhodes...
...cosmopolitan and modern, but also romantic.
To get to the centre of town, you have to pass through Mandraki with its crowded marina.
You will walk in the shade of imposing Italian Buildings and of modern Greek mansions.
You will sense the history of this city through the variety of the architecture of its
buildings. When you come to the northernmost point of the city and of the island, at the
Aquarium, your walk can conclude with a refreshing dip from the beach which stretches from
the "Elli" to "Psaropoula", or with some shopping in the market.
From the top of Monte Smith - the hill
which ruins of the ancient acropolis, the Temple of Apollo and the ancient stadium - the whole city, spread
all around, amid its seas and its winds, can be seen sparkling in the sun. The visitor takes it all
in with the eye as far as the superb natural park of Rodini, an ideal spot for recreation and the modern sports centre
at Karakonero, on the opposite shore.
On the other side, the panoramic view of the Gulf of Ixia
brings a sense of peace and calm. When night comes with its own enchanting colours and the mood
has changed, there is something for everyone: the host of places of entertainment, each with its own style, promise evenings
to remember.
