Planning a Trip to Rhodes? Here's Your Complete Itinerary Guide
Why Visit Rhodes? # The sharp scent of wild oregano bakes on the sun-bleached hillsides of Rhodes, mixing with the sharp, salty tang of the Aegean Sea long before you ever sight the water. This largest of the Dodecanese islands occupies a distinct geographic position in the southeastern corner of Greece , sitting closer to the coast of Turkey than to the mainland of Athens. That crossroads location defines the physical landscape, where medieval stone fortifications built by crusader knights meet the whitewashed architecture and blue-domed churches typical of the Aegean.
