Rhodes, Mediterranean island in Aegean Sea, Greece

The largest of the Dodecanese islands extends over 1,400 square kilometers with beaches along its 220-kilometer coastline, reaching heights of 1,215 meters.

In ancient times, Rhodes held the Colossus, a 33-meter bronze statue of Helios standing at the harbor entrance from 280 to 226 BCE.

The Medieval City of Rhodes contains structures from various periods, including Byzantine churches, Gothic buildings, Ottoman mosques, and Crusader fortifications.

Rhodes International Airport connects the island with major European cities through direct flights, while ferries operate regular services to Athens and neighboring islands.

The Valley of Butterflies nature reserve houses thousands of Jersey Tiger Moths between June and September, attracted by the oriental sweetgum trees.
