Rhodes, Rhodes [View all]

Like New York, New York....
From the medieval city on the north end of the island of Rhodes. The fort was started by crusading knights and used by everyone after. Along with other modifications. This was on our last day of the trip. Easter Sunday. A great time to visit as 3/4 of the shops were closed and at least half the restaurants. This cut into the tourist numbers.

Legend says the colossus stood here.


Docking here for over 1,000 years
