Rhodes Flights - A short guide. If you're heading to Europe and you're hoping to spend some time in the sun, look no further than Europe's official sunniest destination with over 300 days of sunny weather every year; the Greek island of Rhodes. As the largest of the Dodecanese islands, both in land and in population, Rhodes is loved by many who seek the endless sun and clear waters of the Aegean Sea, but Rhodes has so much more to offer. Rhodes has charm, historical drama and archaeological finds that heighten the natural wonders of this Dodecanese island. Though destroyed by a long ago earthquake, one of the Seven Wonders of the World, the Colossus of Rhodes, is thought to have been on the site of Mandraki Harbor where you can now view statues of deer high atop great pillars. Unfortunately, no sign of the great bronze statue of Colossus remains. Palace of the Grand Master is well worth the time and is sure to fascinate as is the splendour of the Governor's Palace, the collection at the Archaeological Museum and the fascinating ruins of the castle of Monolithos . Stroll through the Old Town gardens or get up close to see the Romanic basilica. If you dare make your way atop The Acropolis of Lindos, you'll be greatly rewarded with not only a view of the city, but of the magnificent sea. An additional reward will be found by way of the many ruins you can spends hours strolling through including the Doric Temple of Athena Lindia, the Hellenistic staircase, and the Propylaea of the Sanctuary. With tourism as the main industry of the island you are guaranteed great hotels, fine restaurants and welcoming hosts.
