Rhodes was our last island stop. Up until now, the weather has been fantastic but in Rhodes it rained hard almost the whole time. We did get out and walk around the city. We saw the harbor where the Colossus of Rhodes stood. One of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, it was built around 300 BC to memorialize the defeat of Alexander the Great. It stood for only 56 years before an earthquake destroyed it. Oddly, the remains of the statue were hauled away to Syria some 800 years later by a caravan of 900 camels.

Because cameras and rain don't mix well, I have very few pictures of Rhodes. Sorry.

These photos were taken in April 2008 mostly with a Nikon D3.
