Its history is unclear until 408 BC, when the construction of the city of Rhodes is decided, on the plans of the town planner Hippodamos.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv0273329741MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">It was in -305 when Rhodes was besieged by Demetrios (son of the king of Macedonia), a siege that lasted a year thanks to an impressive resistance of the Rhodians against the sophisticated machines of the Macedonians. The siege ended with an amicable agreement between the two parties, and it was on this occasion that the Colossus of Rhodes was built. A 40m high bronze statue in honor of Helios, patron god of the island, which is today considered the 6th wonder of the ancient world.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv0273329741MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">During the Byzantine period (395-1453), the island was forgotten by the Empire and many peoples settled down like the Persians, Arabs or Genoese. In 1309, the Knights of the Order of Saint John settled on the island for two centuries. It was during this period that the fortifications around the city were built, defensive walls to protect the city. The knights left the island in 1522 for the benefit of the Ottomans; the turkish occupation will end in 1912 when by the Treaty of Lausanne, the island is attached to the Kingdom of Italy. Finally after the Second World War the island was placed under the authority of Great Britain, which would hand over Rhodes to Greece five years later, in 1948.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-611164b elementor-align-left animated-slow elementor-mobile-align-center

cities&#8221;.Even though this island so clearly presents the timeless historical path of two cities that played a key role in the development of the South-Eastern Mediterranean. Only a poet or writer could have captured the unparalleled beauty of the imposing rock that dominates above the village of Lindos<\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv3676825611MsoNormal\">.You can\u2019t consider your visit to Rhodes complete without going through Lindos. This is not only because of the acropolis of the 3rd century B.C. perched on its hill, or the medieval fortifications that continue to give the site the gravity it deserves, or because of the white\u00a0 houses and labyrinth of alleys of the city just below.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv3676825611MsoNormal\">It is because going up to the temple, 116 m above sea level, is to follow exactly the same path that the ancients and knights used to use Lindos as a place of worship and defense. This incredible view of the Aegean Sea and St Paul\u2019s Bay&#8230; these are the same views that inspired them.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c01cf51 elementor-align-left animated-slow elementor-mobile-align-center elementor-widget__width-inherit elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"c01cf51\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInUp&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/rhodesdiscovery.com\/nl\/lindos-cruise\/\" class=\"elementor-button-link elementor-button elementor-size-sm elementor-animation-float\" role=\"button\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-icon elementor-align-icon-left\">\n\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-archway\"><\/i>\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Our Excursion to Lindos<\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rhodes Discovery About Rhodes Are you ready to get know about Rhodes?
