Gate of Wall to City



The walled town of Rhodes



Rhodes with its walled town is Greece's biggest & most cosmopolitan resort. The town of Lindos can be reached on foot or by donkey and from here there is a breathtaking view of the Pelagos and of St. Paul's Bay, where the apostle dropped anchor on his way to Ephessos, Turkey(then Asia Minor). The Grand Master's Palace and fortifications are still in good repair and are some of the most interesting sights to be seen on the island.


Rhodes tradition held in Lindos on the southeast coast of the island, has the Apostle Paul's ship arrive at the island in the small harbor and stay in their city and preached, bringing many people into the new faith. (Acts 6:5)
