'''Rhodes''' is an island in the [[Aegean]], the largest of the [[Dodecanese]] group.
It is currently part of [[Greece]], although it lies off the coast of [[Turkey]].
In ancient times it was famous for the [[Colossus of Rhodes]], supposedly a gigantic statue that bestrode its harbour.
In mediaeval times it was ruled by the [[Knights of St. John]], who constructed much of the well-preserved architecture of the town of Rhodes.
