Traditionally known as “the Island of Roses” and “ the Island
of Butterflies” for the great number of flowers and
butterflies scattered about on its hills,
Rhodes is the place
where Zeus did homage to Elio, the god of the sun, and where
he fell in love with Poseidon’s daughter, the nymph Roda.

It’s the light which makes the wine of this island so rich and
gives the hibiscus, the flower symbol of
Rhodes, its charming
colour red. The sun covers with its rays the amazing castle of
Rhodes, it accompanies the beats of the new town, swarming
with life, gives a sure beauty to the Doric frugality of the
acropolis of Lindos, turns
the waters of the island into gardens of jade.
