" Since classical times, Apollo's island with its fascinating history, glorious climate and extraordinary natural beauty has drawn the curious to its shores. Though most of the ancient city of Rhodes has now vanished, today's visitors can still see the splendid acropolis and temple of Lindos, or wander about the deserted city of Kamiros. The modern traveller can explore one of the most splended of all walled cities: the old city of the Knights of Rhodes, with its medieval walls, Byzantine churches and Turkish minarets. Of the other islands of the Dodecanese, some, like Kos, have a gentle flowering landscape; others, like Patmos and Kalymnos, are wild and rugged.
