The origin of the name Rhodes has been associated with “rhodon”. Mythology states that when Zeus and the other gods of Olympus decided to divide the earth, they forgot to keep a lot for the missing Sun God. The Sun reported the injustice, and when he saw that a fertile land was emerging from the sea, then he asked Lachesis and Zeus to take an oath that when this island finally emerged it would be his forever, as it did.
Rhodes has a huge history and countless attractions. Nature is generous. Huge sandy beaches, emerald waters, castles and ancient states, gourmet restaurants, but also traditional taverns, luxury hotels and villages.
