Next on the list was the island of Rhodes, which is famous worldwide for the Colossus – one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. We were told that this had been the island of the Sun and he had chosen to divide the land between his three children. One of these new cities was Lindos, a maze of picturesque streets with great views of the acropolis.
The acropolis is located on the top of a hill; therefore a hike of about twenty minutes has to be done before getting to the top. The view of the Aegean Sea was spectacular and it only got better as we got to the top. On our way down, we passed through the town and got to see the little village located at the bottom of the acropolis. We also went to a pottery shop were we got to see how natives created wonderful pieces of art. 
Another incredible site in Rhodes was the Old Town, which is a walled medieval city that was divided into three parts: the northern part includes the Acropolis of the Knights and the Palace of the Grand Master, the southern part includes the Hora – where the commoners lived, and the third part is the Jewish quarter. This was pretty impressive and it made us feel like we have traveled back in time.
