Rhodes Rhodes is one of the largest and most fertile of the Greek Islands, and is one of the most visited because of its combination of beaches, archaeological sites, and extensive medieval town. The climate is particularly good, with the weather typically sunny and mild. The island is one of the Dodecanese, set in the Eastern Aegean. The rock-rose is so prolific here that it has been named the 'Island of Roses,' though modern scholars doubt the ancient theory that the island's name comes from the Greek word for rose. While the northern coast is renowned for its lively tourist resorts the south offers tranquil beaches and a slower, more simple pace of life. Rhodes has fine medieval/Crusader and The capital of the island is Rhodes Town, and this tends to be where the best hotels, restaurants and sights are located, with many scattered around the historical Old Town district. Those wishing to explore the Old Town will find it divided into three areas, the Hora, the Jewish Quarter, and the Kollakio (Knights' Quarter). Almost resembling a spearhead in its shape when viewed from above, the island of Rhodes is part of the Dodecanese islands. Enjoying a very scenic and beautiful setting in the Aegean Sea, Rhodes is extremely close to the Turkish border, which lies just 18 km / 11 miles to the north-east - 50 minutes by hydrofoil to Marmaris.
