Lindos 1 - Rhodes- 7 Sights That You Must See When Visiting Rhodes!

The Greek island of Rhodes boasts beautiful beaches, rich culture and historical monuments. For exploring this relatively small island, it is best to rent a car or scooter and gradually discover the monuments that are briefly described in this list of the most beautiful places in Rhodes.

1.The Rhodesian Colossus on Rhodes

The Rhodesian Colossus on Rhodes is one of the Seven Wonders of the World. But the truth is that it no longer exists. But you will find the port where this colossus was supposedly located. It was actually a huge statue of Helium that welcomed the ships in the harbor. Today, however, it is known that the statue already described is too big to actually exist. There are many theories about whether or not the statue was actually towering over the harbor, but the reality is still unknown to us.

5. The Valley of Butterflies

Rhodos also offers such an incredible natural phenomenon. The name of the place says it all. Thousands of night butterflies gather in this valley during the summer. During the day they relax on rocks or trees, so tourists can easily admire them. The valley is accessible thanks to the built paths together about 5 km long.
