Archaeological Site of Delphi

UNESCO World Heritage Site

The pan-Hellenic sanctuary of Delphi, where the oracle of Apollo spoke, was the site of the omphalos, the 'navel of the world'. Blending harmoniously with the superb landscape and charged with sacred meaning, Delphi in the 6th century B.C. was indeed the religious centre and symbol of unity of the ancient Greek world.

Harbor of Rhodos

Mandraki is one of the three harbors in Rhodes. It is famous, because it is believed that the great statue of Colossus, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, once stood at the harbor entrance.  Nowadays the sculptures of Rhodian Deer, a stag and a doe, stand on slim columns on either side of the harbor where the Colossus possibly once stood.

The Fort of Saint Nicholas guards the Mandraki harbour.

The lighthouse dates back to 1863, during the Ottoman period, it was reactivated in 2007.

 Ródoksen kaupunki perustettiin antiikin aikana. Antiikin Rodoksessa sijaitsi yksi maailman seitsemästä ihmeestä, Rodoksen kolossi. Johanniittain ritarikunnan rakentama Rodoksen linnoitus kuuluu Välimeren alueen parhaiten säilyneisiin keskiaikaisiin kaupunkeihin. Unesco listasi Rodoksen keskiaikaisen kaupungin maailmanperintöluettelon kohteeksi vuonna 1988.
