Rhodes is an island that still intoxicates with memories, sea breeze and legendary locations. A little background)
I spent my vacation in the small village of Ixia, at the Ixian Grand Hotel. In choosing a hotel, the location to the capital of the island of the same name, Rhodes, played a plus. All my conscious life I read mythology and epic) a distance of 5-6 km ...and I plunged into the historical culture of this beautiful city. A taxi ride cost 6 euros, and even in a comfortable Mercedes. Port of Mandraki: windmills, the fortress of St. Nicholas and here they are - two famous columns, which are decorated on one side by a deer, on the other - by a deer. They say that the Wonder of the World - the Colossus of Rhodes (Helios - the god of the Sun) - towered precisely above these columns, connecting both banks with itself, and the ships passed under it.
Unfortunately, the statue could not be saved to our time, due to the earthquake (((But this is not the only attraction worth visiting. Very close is the Palace of the Grand Masters - a fortress of incredible beauty and history from 1300. Only 6 euros for an adult ticket and a real immersion in the Middle Ages, I promise you.
Nearby there are a lot of cozy cafes where you can drink delicious coffee, hide in the shade during a siesta, gain strength and go shopping after walking through historical places.
By the way, then I rented a car, for only 30 euros a day, a tiny Ford, and traveled around the island, I will definitely share a story about my trip on a ferry to the island of Symi and snow-white Lindos)))
