Rhodes Island - a fabulous vacation surrounded by the Middle Ages and the present
Rhodes is an interesting island in Greece with a mild temperate climate, always sunny weather, beautiful landscapes, an abundance of beaches and poetic legends.

In the west it is washed by the stormy Aegean Sea, and in the east by the calm waters of the Mediterranean.
The capital of the island is the city of Rhodes of the same name - a well-developed tourist center, which can be conditionally divided into 2 parts. The first one houses modern hotels, branded boutiques, noisy cafes, bars with discos. This area attracts lovers of fun and nightlife. The second part is the Old Town, surrounded by fortified walls, with narrow colorful streets and a peaceful atmosphere of numerous architectural monuments.
