The historic Old Port of Rhodes

Taking a giant ferry from the beautiful Santorini, you will arrive at the Old Port of Rhodes after just an overnight journey. This port, located at the northernmost tip of Rhodes, has a long history. It is said that this was once the site of the Colossus of Rhodes, one of the Seven Wonders of the World. Unfortunately, it was destroyed in an earthquake, and now only traces of history remain. There are not many strange legends about miracles here. As we know, there are indeed many ancient and spectacular wonders in the world, as if created by the gods. However, the ordinary and unpretentious port before us quietly showcases the sediment of time. Here, although those magnificent landscapes of the past are no longer present, you will find that even after the vicissitudes of history, the port still exists in people's sight with its resilience and charm. Walking along the shore of the port, you can see three unique windmill landmark buildings. They stand quietly there, as if telling stories of the past. Although these windmills are not one of the Seven Wonders of the World, they are a unique symbol of this area, adding a special charm to this land. The Old Port of Rhodes is a place full of history and culture. It is not just an ordinary port, but a place full of stories and memories. Whether it is the historical relics of the past or the windmill buildings that still exist today, they all add a unique charm to this port. Let us feel the sediment of history here and experience the reality and beauty of life.
