Rhodes, the capital of the Greek Islands, is the largest island of the archipelago and part of the Dodecanese Island group.  Rhodes’ capital lies outside and within the walls of a very well preserved Venetian castle, built by the Knights of St. John, making it one of the finest examples of medieval architecture. The beauty of the characteristic old town, its white sand beaches and numerous Byzantine churches make this Greek island one of the most popular islands of Greece
