This is the largest of the Dodecanese islands, in terms of both land area and population. It is the greenest island I 've visited for it seems it has much water under the soil. We first visited the old city, we saw the archaelogical museum but couldn't enter the palace, because it was temporarily closed for who knows how long and what reason. We saw some mosques and a sinagogue, which we tried to visit and with that purpose asked a jewish man if we could visit the sinagogue to which he replied in hebrew, so I don't really know the answer.
After that, we took a cab and went for a 1-hour-journey with a nice motorist who told us some facts about the island, (why is the deer a symbol of Rhodes for example) and showed us some nice places (like the old Stadium).
The old city:
The Archaeological Museum:
The ancient Stadium:
Ancient guardian on the top of a church:
Windy top, from where you could see Turkey (it's true!) and also the part where The Aegean and Mediterranean seas come together:
