Rhodes
Rhodes is one of the many islands in Greece and is located in the Aegean Sea. It is the biggest if these islands by land area as well as population count and is the Dodecanese island group’s historical capital. The island covers 1408 square kilometres of land area and has a population density of just 83 people per square kilometre with a total population of 117 000 people. Rhodes is a hugely popular tourist destination due to the variety of tourist attractions on the island especially the city of Rhodes itself as well as the Colossus of Rhodes. The primary economic generator in Rhodes is tourism and as such, the biggest sector in on the island is the service industry.
Tourists love visiting Rhodes because of the incredible history that exists on the island especially in the Old Rhodes Town that is surrounded by massive walls as well as many different shops that line the streets and corners of the old town especially in Socratous, the old Bazaar Street. Almost with this, the Odis ippoton (or Street of the Knights) attracts many gaping jawed visitors and is perhaps one of the most photographed areas on the entire island.
Visitors also enjoy a trip to the Palace of the Grand Master. Although it is a recreation of the original building reconstructed in the 1930s, it is still worth going to see. The Rhodian Deer monuments located at the harbour on the island are another sight many people talk about in the town.
