Places to See
Rhodes Island abounds in lovely and interesting places to visit, such
as the Valley of the Butterflies; the village of Trianda
near the site of ancient lalyssos (lalissos) on the top of Filerimos
hill, where the 15th century monastery of the same name also stands,
along with the ruined temples of Athena and Zeus Poliea in the ancient
acropolis; Kameiros (Kamiros) and the ruins of the Dorian city;
Kalithea with its thermal baths; Koskinou, Afandou,
Faliraki and Rodini.
But above all don't miss Lindos. The contrast between the brilliant
white houses and winding lanes of the more recent village built around
two crescent beaches and the ancient acropolis towering above it from
its austere pinnacle makes for one of the most stunning views in Greece.
The temple of Athena Lindia (4th century BC) coming gradually into
view as you ascend the stairs is a sight never to be forgotten.
Finally, there are splendid beaches all over the island, some of which
are equipped with facilities for bathers and equipment for water sports.
