According to a beautiful legend, "Roses Island" among the warm sea, was donated by Zeus to the Gel Geliosa, who was delighted with his exceptional beauty and showered him his affectionate rays, turning them into roses. The name is the island in honor of his beloved spouse Helios, Nymph Rhodes. This amazing place combined the spirit of antiquity and modern civilization. When I first found myself on Rhodes, it was delighted with its natural beauty. Here you can see two seas at once. Be sure to visit Prasonisi. This place is located in the south of the island and is called the "Kiss of the Two Seas". There are the Aegean and Mediterranean Sea. You can swim in the restless waters of the first, and then plunge into the quiet waves of the second sea. Amazing Miracle of Nature! The city of Rhodes itself is unique in that it has survived the old town with its narrow streets, knightly fortresses, Acropolia. When you walk along it, as if you find yourself in the distant Middle Ages. There are a lot of Orthodox places here. We visited the village of Siana, where the relics of St. Panteleimon are resting, a healer's doctor. He prayes all the suffering and sick. Very beautiful place - the Hill Fileurimos, where the huge cross will be erected, to which the road is laid out, symbolizing the path of Christ on Calvary. And here they live peacocks, freely walking around the territory of the ancient Byzantine Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary of the 15th century. The city of Lindos, located in the fortress on the hill, is amazing. We also visited the valley of butterflies, the place where thousands of beautiful winged creatures are flying annually. Very hospitable people live on Rhodes. We ate stunning national cuisine, tried delicious homemade wine. The climate here in July is rather hot, but the stools are not at the expense of a cool sea air. Prices for food, European clothing. Something is cheap, and something is not very, but quite acceptable. Every step has agency rental agencies. Very convenient for self-journey. Greek flavor, which is all impregnated here, unique. I will be sure to come back here!
