4. Day:
From Symi early morning start and
sail to Rhodes. This is one of the best known Greek islands. It is a
beautiful island, but the many
years of tourism has definitely taken its toll. Everywhere in Lindos
and Rhodes town you will see bars, discos, and restaurants with food
from all over the world. On the one hand this might take away a bit
of the "Greekness" of the island, but on the other hand you have
everything you want here. Many locals are involved with tourism in
one way or the other, but there is also a lot of farmers on the
island. They grow grapes and keep goats. Because it is a large
island, many also have "ordinary" occupations: civil servants,
shopowners, office clerks etc. There is also a large military base
on the island. Rhodes used to be the sungod
Helios'
island. According to mythology, he had fallen in love with the
nymph
Rhodes, and when he shone his light on her, she transformed into the
island. The name means "rose" and the island is known since
antiquity as a flowery place. Rhodes is the largest island in the
Dodecanese. Its capital city, located at its northern tip, is the
capital of the Prefecture with the Medieval Town in its centre. In
1988 the Medieval Town was designated as a World Heritage City. The
Medieval Town of Rhodes is the result of different architectures
belonging to various historic eras, predominantly those of the
Knights of St. John . Optional tours may be organized for an Old
Town tour. The harbour town has a charming bohemian atmosphere. |

6. Day:
Early in the
morning cruise to Knidos (Cnidus ), one of the six cities of Dorian
Hexapolis to see ancient theatres & Temples.
Long centuries ago Knidos was a
major Dorian city, celebrated for its temples, theatres, statue of
Aphrodite, the world's first observatory, and medical school.The
town, renowned for its history as much as for its geography, and
boasting an attractive landscape, used to have two ports; one for
commercial and one for military purposes. According to the historian
Strabon, the military port was large enough to hold 20 warships and
its entrance used to be closed off with chains when necessary;
whereas the second port to the south, the commercial port, used to
have a windbreaker extending out from both sides. Knidos used to be
surrounded with 15-kilometer (9-mile) city walls and had three
entrance gates; two on the northern and one on the eastern wall. The
acropolis was located on a hill northeast of the city. As far as is
understood from the surviving ruins, the town used to have two
theaters, one Odeon, two temples, a stoa, an agora, and a number of
other buildings. The most interesting among them was perhaps the
Temple of Aphrodite.
