Rhodes, the beautiful Island of Roses, has a unique physical scenery, a sunny climate and friendly people. The city's aspect is greatly influenced by late thirties Italian architecture and by the presence of the fortified Medieval Town. A very popular part of the city is the ancient harbor, the Mandraki, with the statues of the Deer and the Fawn at its entrance. Tradition has it that this was where the famous Colossus of Rhodes, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, stood. The white town of Lindos is well worth visiting. The acropolis here was only surpassed by the acropolis of Athens, and you can still see its ruins.
