Rodos was already inhabited in prehistoric times. The island gradually expanded its influence and became the main commercial link in the Mediterranean sea.

Nowadays Rodos is a medieval modern amalgam which impresses and fascinates visitors. Its medieval castle, fortified behind and impressive wall, merges harmoniously with the refined cosmopolitan air of a modern resort with luxurious hotels, broad avenues with rows of trees and rich commercial stores.

It’s fascinating to walk in the medieval town, full of impressive 15th century buildings, stone-paved lanes with arches and vaults, rows of little shops as a modern touch to the medieval picture, offering a surprising variety of commodities.

Rodos, is indeed the island of Sun, sea and sand, but when the sun goes down, it still has much to offer the visitor. Rodos is also the island of culture and diverse civilizations.
