not cease to impress its visitors. Also unique is its climate with more sunny
days than any other place in Europe. To experience the majesty of Rhodes,
walk up the cobblestone streets past austere guildhouses to the massive
Crusader's Fortress. Or head out through orange and olive groves to the
Acropolis of Lindos spectacularly set overlooking the bluest of seas.
