Ancient Greece

We continue to explore the historical treasures of Rhodes. But first, you need a hearty breakfast, and a nice beach restaurant, Porto Antico is perfect for this.

The ancient acropolis on the northwestern coast of the Rhodes island has preserved the originality of Doric and Achaean civilizations. The ancient Camiros city was one of the richest settlements on the island. The city was built on three levels. Religious buildings, including the Temple of Athena built in the 8th century BC, occupied the upper one. The main urban settlement was located on the middle level, and the Temple of Apollo, surrounded by a marketplace, was built on the lower one. Camiros flourished up until the second century BC, then two large earthquakes caused great damage to the city, and the surviving inhabitants had to move to the new capital of the island, the city of Rhodes.

It's lunchtime! The restaurant serves classic Rhodes dishes—many variations of fish and seafood, and offers fairly extensive selection of local wines.
The restaurant has a small but very well-equipped beach and a spacious play area for children.

Only the ruins of the Temple of Apollo, god of the sun and patron of the muses and arts, are left up to now. But this is an important historic venue, given that Apollo was one of the most cherished gods in the Greek pantheon. Don't miss the spot, it's filled with energy and beautifully surrounded.

There's been enough active recreation and exploration for one day, devote time to a relaxed rest by the sea. Soroni beach is a beautiful, a little wild place to plunge into your thoughts. It's also a nice spot to swim. There are sunbeds offered by the restaurant you're going to visit next.

Elena restaurant offers a pleasant combination of perfectly cooked and served dishes, quick and friendly service and a pleasant atmosphere by the Aegean Sea. The food here is marvelous, fish here is a must.

Good food, beautiful views, and loads of history filled your day. Have some time to savor emotions and go to bed to have nice refreshing rest.
