• Rhodes

Rhodes is a truly unique of it's kind as an island. Due to its position on the eastern edge of the Mediterranean, the island has long acted as a crossroad of cultures, resulting in a heady mix of architectural styles.

Capital of the Dodecanese, an island which is ideal not only for those who want to relax but also for those looking for an action-packed holiday! With its bright green hills, rich green valleys and uninterrupted line of golden beaches, Rhodes is truly a blessed place. Add in the excellent facilities for tourism, the island’s special blend of cosmopolitan and traditional, and numerous cultural and archaeological sites and you’ve got the perfect holiday destination.

Stretching almost 50 miles from Rhodes Town in the northeast to Prasonisi in the southwest, the island is over 200 miles from the Greek mainland, but only 11 miles from the southern shores of Turkey. This extreme location lends Rhodes an exotic air, and a plethora of different cultures have left their unique mark on the island. A short stroll in the UNESCO protected Old Town unveils the echoes of this historical melting-pot of civilisations, from the imposing medieval Grand Master’s Palace to the delicate Suleymaniye Mosque, juxtaposed with the elegant Jewish Quarter and the surprising Italian colonial architecture of the New Town.

A cosmopolitan city, Rhodes Town plays host to a never-ending rosta of cultural events, cafes, restaurants and bars, and retains its liveliness even in the winter period. Dinner at the exclusive Marco Polo Mansion is a memorable event, housed in a 15th century Ottoman townhouse belonging to a prominent Milanese artist and collector. Come sunset, the cream of Rhodian society gathers at Mavrikos in Lindos, ordering up plates of fresh sea urchin pasta and lobster risotto. During the summer season, take a front row seat for views of the Aegean and Lindos Acropolis, or reclining in the intimate interiors of the indoors Fouli Restaurant during the winter – either option guarantees and elegant evening of premium food, drink and people watching.

• Filming in Rhodes [ social ]

If you have been lucky enough to enjoy a holiday in Rhodes, or even researched the island, you’ll know about its amazing history.

However, many people don’t realise that Rhodes also has a rich cinematic history. Unsurpisingly, the island’s beautiful setting has made it a popular choice over the years as a filming location among directors. As a result, some of the world’s most famous actors have filmed in Rhodes where some are below:

ESCAPE TO ATHENA (1979)

The movie is set during the II WW. It is an adventure war film with some comedy elements about a strong Greek resistant movement that took place on a small island. This movement prepares the landing of the Allies and plans to overtake a prisoner camp, run by an Austrian general (Roger Moore). This Austrian general loves antiques and actually has forced his prisoners to work in archaeological excavations, in exchange for a more comfortable treatment. Also starred Terry Savalas, Claudia Cardinale, and David Niven. DIRECTOR: GEORGE COSMATOS ,FILMING LOCATION: RHODES

The windward northern coastline is a noted location for windsurfing and other water- sports, and, come summer, becomes the meeting point for water-sports enthusiasts from around the world. Kite-surfers will love Prasonisi, a remote cape on the island’s most westerly corner and home to the Prasonisi Kitesurf Centre. Prasonisi’s constant cross-shore winds make it one of the top water-sport destinations in Europe: from one side the strong waves of the Aegean Sea are a draw for top-level surfers, whilst on the opposite side the softer currents of the Mediterranean are perfect for beginners.
