Traditionally known as “the Island of Roses” and “ the Island of Butterflies” for the great number of flowers and butterflies scattered about on its hil Rhodes the place where Zeus did homage to Elio, the god of the sun, and where he fell in love with Poseidon’s daughter, the nymph Roda.
It was not by chance that for so many centuries the god Sun was worshipped Rodos and that the same worship gave rise to one of the seven wonders of the ancient world: the Colossus of Rhodes.
It’s the light which makes the wine of this island so rich and gives the hibiscus, the flower symbol of Rodos its charming colour red. The sun covers with its rays the amazing castle of Rodhes it accompanies the beats of the new town, swarming with life, gives a sure beauty to the Doric frugality of the acropolis of Lindos, turns the waters of the island into gardens of jade.
