UNESCO medieval old town, crystal-clear beaches and 300 days of sun a year
Rhodes, an island of the Dodecanese and one of the sunniest in the Mediterranean (300 days of sunshine a year), is nicknamed the Island of the Sun. Its medieval Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is the best-preserved in Europe: the Palace of the Grand Master, the Street of the Knights and the 4 km ramparts bear witness to its Crusader past. At the other end, the medieval village of Lindos, with its acropolis overlooking a turquoise cove, is one of the most photographed landscapes in Greece. The west coast offers surf beaches (Prasonisi), the east coast calm waters ideal for families.
