The pearl of the Mediterranean –
Rhodes

Rhodes is a cosmopolitan island with wonderful natural beauties and is rich in archaeological treasures. It is known as the pearl of the Mediterranean – and rightly so. Antique monuments are omnipresent on this island. For example, the Akropolis of Lindos is one of the most important and impressive archaeological sights. Even in the old town of Rhodes the city, which has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1988, it is not just the Palace of the Grand Master of the Knights of Rhodes or the grounds surrounding the Suleymaniye Mosque that impress. A completely unique flair prevails in the narrow alleyways and you feel like you have been transported back into another century. It is the flair of diverse cultures that have left traces over the centuries. For nature lovers we recommend the Valley of Butterflies, which really does owe its name to a colourful biodiversity of butterflies. Night owls turn night into day in Faliraki. And last but not least, those craving a spot of bathing will find all their hearts desire in romantic coves and small beaches. And those who haven’t had enough beach during the day can even spend the night in one of the caves at Agathi Beach.
