  What else ...

  Rhodes, Greece is the Crusader Isle, steeped in ancient history and boasting 300 days of blue skies each year.
  
  The island takes in more annual holiday visitors than virtually any other Greek island.
  
  Rhodes Island, lies near East in the Aegean sea. It is the biggest of the Dodecanese islands. Named the sun island or island of light, there are hardly any days when the sun doesn't shine. With its subtropical climate and insane amount of sunlight, visitors can be guaranteed a good tan on their holiday. Rhodes is one of the most popular holiday islands in Greece.
  
  Rhodes offers the visitor all year round leisure alternatives, covering all types of tourist activity. The natural beauty of the island, the monuments from her long history, as well as the warm hospitality, all captivate the visitor.
  The city offers a wide variety of entertainment (night-life, sports, cultural events, and day trips to wonderful Lindos and the neighbouring islands like Kos, Patmos and Leros).
  
  KIOTARI is a beach resort backed by hills. The beach is pleasant, quite large and sandy at one end running to shingle at the other and has a couple of cantinas in the summer. Lots of water sports, jet ski, water ski, banana boats, pedal boats, canoes, windsurfing etc.
  Bus every hour daily to Lindos and Rhodes.
  
  
  Rhodes Town
  The city of Rhodes is the financial and cultural centre of the south eastern Aegean and successfully combines a lively present with a rich historical past. Rhodes town has an excellent tourist infrastructure and offers a wide variety of entertainment such as night life, sports, cultural events and day trips to wonderful Lindos and neighbouring islands.
  
  Lindos
  Lindos lies on the east coast of the island. Like the old town of Rhodes, Lindos is one of the monuments that has been declared subject to preservation and thus has been able to retain its traditional colour.
  
  Ancient Ialyssos
  The district of Ialyssos (or Ialysos) encompasses the northern part of the island. It was inhabited in the prehistoric period. Remains of a Minoan settlement have been found at Trianda and Mycenaean cemeteries have been located on the surrounding hills of Makria Vounara and Moschou Vounara.
