In the medieval town of Rodos , the city of the Knights of the Order of St John , you feel that time has stopped in another age. The Street of the Knights climbs to the Palace of the Grand Master , strikingly dominant. You'll follow the paved alleys, under gateways and colonnades, through squares and obscure courtyards, next to impregnable walls and Byzantine churches. You feel that you are living in the troubled past of this place, but at the same you discover that this city, still inhabited, with its lively commercial activity, the Archaeological Museum , the Art Gallery , the Museum of Folk Art , and its night life, is very much alive in the present. This fascinating combination of yesterday and today charms visitors and brings home to them the uniqueness of the largest living medieval town in Europe ! The hill overlooking the modem new town and Mediaeval&nbsptown is the site
of the ancient Hellenistic town of Rodos and the Acropolis of Rodos. In
antiquity the population of the city was many times larger than that of
today and extended over the eastern slopes of Agios Stephanos (latterly
known as Monte Smith after the English admiral Sir Sidney Smith who
established an observation post in 1802 to watch over the movements of
the Napoleonic fleet in 1802) right down to the harbour. On the
Acropolis are the remains of the Temples of Zeus and Athena and the
partly restored Temple of Apollo , then, as now, a landmark for ships
at sea. Below is the heavily restored Stadium, which is still used for occasional performances of classical tragedies. Visit at sunset to watch the spectacular sunset. we speak english,german,greek Flights to Rhodes: www.aegeanair.com www.skyscanner.com skype : rhodos-oldtown |
