Abstract

“Stella del Sud” and journalist Chiara Perino invites us to the discovery of Rhodes. We learn about the myth of its birth and the history of the island over the centuries. We discover Rhodos in the ancient times through views of Athena’s temple in the Acropolis of Lindos and sculptures of the Laocoon Group, the Venus of Milo and the Nike of Samothrace. The most famous and most significant was the Colossus of Rhodes, destroyed by an earthquake in the III century BC. The tour continues in Lindos with the visit of the castle built by the Knights Hospitaller in the medieval period. Views of the walls around Colacchio and old Lindos, the most beautiful village of Rhodes.
