Rhodes is the largest of the islands of the Dodecanese archipelago, the traditional site of the Colossus of Rhodes, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World and in the middle ages, the seat of the order of the order of the Knights of St. John. The opulence of the Grand Master may belie the vow of poverty required of each knight upon entering the Order but makes it well-worth a visit.

Today Rhodes is a popular tourist destination with many attractions. The Old Town, The Valley of Butterflies and a picturesque whitewashed little town of Lindos on the southeastern coast are just a few of interesting tourist destinations on the island.
