RHODES
RESORT
Have dinner in Greece, and dessert with coffee in Turkey! Sounds too good
to be true? It is all possible with Marmaris - Rhodes
hydrofoil and ferry connection. Visit Turkey and Greece
on one vacation, since the two are only a short cruise
apart!
Rhodes is an outstanding island in the East of
Mediterranean, the largest one of Dodecanesus, an island
rich in its beauty and famous for its history. Four
large historic towns still testify its ancient glory
with their ruins: Ialysos, Camirus, Lindos, Rhodes
itself where buildings dating back to the Byzantium and
the middle ages link that distant age of prosperity in
the life of today. Philosophers, mathematicians,
athletes, poets and sculptors, already well-known in the
age of Homer, lived in this flowery island. Some of the
most admirable works of art that matchless period, you
can see even today in the very surroundings of their
creation.

Rhodes, owing its name to the rose, the sacred flower of
Apollo, the god of the sun, appears in the tradition as
the nymph of this god. Quite flowery under the bright
blue sky, still bathed by the same emerald sea, it
always looks like a nymph. That ideal island
successfully combining the tradition with beauty and
always fascinating with it's charms.
Day trip boats, hydrofoils, catamarans and ferries use
the town quay area.
