Rhodos on Google Maps.
From spring to autumn, the island of Rhodes is one of the most visited and popular islands in the vast greek archipelago but in winter, the island, nature and its people takes possession of the beaches, streets and shores of their islands. No more traffic, queues at restaurants, paths crowded with people. Only quiet, deserted beaches and silent woods. The ancient medieval city of the Knights of St. John of Jerusalem is deserted and the visits to the museum, to the  cathedral and the mosque, are a pleasure. A trip to Rhodes in winter allows you to fully appreciate the history, the culture and the nature of this famous Greek island.
