Information about Rhodes
Rhodes, the largest island of the Dodecanese, is famous for its seaside resorts, ancient ruins and for being occupied by the Knights of St. John during the Crusades. In the historical center of the city of Rhodes there are two medieval sites: Via dei Cavalieri and the Palazzo dei Gran Maestri, with a structure similar to a castle. Occupied by the Ottomans and rebuilt by the Italians, the palace now houses a museum of history.

Heraklion, also known as Candia, is a port city and the capital of the Greek island of Crete. It is known for the Palace of Knossos, just outside the city. The huge archaeological site dates back to the Minoan civilisation thousands of years ago and includes frescoes and baths. The 16th-century Koules Fortress guards the town's Venetian port. The Archaeological Museum of Heraklion houses a large collection of Minoan art.
