With over 3,000 hours of sunshine a year, Rhodes is one of the sunniest regions in Europe and rightly bears the nickname Sun Island.

A huge explosion in 1856 almost completely destroyed the Grand Master’s Palace of Rhodes. Between 1937 and 1940, the Italians rebuilt the magnificent building during their occupation. Inside, there are now showrooms and a museum with changing exhibitions.<\/p>\n
