Location: ........................................HOTEL RODOS PALACE

RODOS (or RHODES) ISLAND
Welcome to the island of the Knights of St. John.
The island of Rhodes is situated at the crossroads of two major sea routes of the Mediterranean between the Aegean Sea and the coast of the Middle East, as well as Cyprus and Egypt. The meeting point of three continents, it has known many civilizations.
Throughout its long history, the different nations and different empires (
* Greeks in Ancient, Byzantine and Modern Era (after 1948)
* Romans,
* Arabs,
* Crusaders,
* Knights of St. John
(after the occupation of the island by the great Ottoman Turkish Empire, the Knights  went to the island of Malta and for this reason Malta is also called island of the Knights)
* Turks during the Ottoman Empire, and finally
* Italians (until 1945))
)
who settled on Rhodes left their mark in all aspects of the island's culture: art, language, architecture.

Its strategic position brought to the island great wealth and made the city of Rhodes one of the leading cities of the ancient Greek world.


Rhodes is the largest island in the Dodecanese. Its capital city, located at its northern tip, is the capital of the Prefecture with the Medieval Town in its centre.
In 1988 the Medieval Town was designated as a World Heritage City. The Medieval Town of Rhodes is the result of different architectures belonging to various historic eras, predominantly those of the Knights of St. John.
