Known as the sunniest part of Greece, you can sail the 163 islands and islets in the Dodecanese from our base in Rhodes. The island of Rhodes is the largest and most historically significant in the chain. Our base is located in Rhodes Marina, a short distance from Rhodes’ old town, the oldest inhabited medieval town in Europe. You can explore its walls, windmills, Palace of the Grand Master of the Knights, St Anthony’s Gate, Gate of Amboise, Hippocrates Square, clock tower, archaeological museum and impressive towers that fringe the waterfront. To sail in Rhodes, you will need a sailing license that is recognized by the local port authorities, or you can hire a skipper. TOP THINGS TO DO IN RHODES: 1. Visit the Medieval City of Rhodes: There are so many things to do in Rhodes, but you won’t have fully experienced Rhodes until you’ve explored within the walled city of the old town, otherwise known as Medieval City. Stroll the quaint streets and indulge in some shopping and dining in this UNESCO World Heritage city. 2. See the Archaeological Museum of Rhodes: Housed in a monument building that was originally constructed as a Hospital of the Knights of St. John, t. This fascinating museum is packed with sculptures and relics, giving a glimpse of ancient Rhodes ranging from over 7000 years ago. Make sure you pay a visit during your yacht charter in Rhodes. 3. Tour the Valley of the Butterflies: Petaloudes, just up from the coast for our base, is better known as the Valley of the Butterflies. Visit between June and August when millions of the multicolored insects converge, drawn by the scent of storax trees resin found here. 4. Visit the Palace of the Grand Master: While in the old town of Rhodes, take some time to stroll through the palace and surrounding moat with amazing views. The halls have exquisite mosaic floors, paintings artifacts and more. 5. Climb to the Acropolis of Lindos: High atop the rocky cliffs above Lindos, sits the ancient remains of the temple to Athena Lindia. The towering stark white columns are a dazzling contrast against the stunning long-range sea views, and are certainly worth a visit if you’re sailing Rhodes.

  • Bringing the Empire Home: Italian Fascism's Mediterranean Tour Of
    Bringing the Empire Home: Italian Fascism’s Mediterranean Tour of Rhodes Valerie McGuire In 1926, the acting administrative governor of the Italian Aegean islands crossed the threshold of a newly restored castle of Rhodes. A photograph of Mario Lago dressed in the garb of a medieval knight appeared on the cover of the March issue of the popular culture magazine L’illustrazione italiana.1 A local reporter for the Italian administration described the event as a “superb re-evocation of other times.”2 However, the governor’s masquerade as a Christian knight was clearly not meant to invoke the island’s past so much as its future, as a celebrated destination within the Italian overseas empire. Since the Italian capture of Rhodes during the 1911–12 war for Libya, the local administration had invested heavily into restoration projects on the island. Rhodes was not only a famous location from antiquity but was also a storied location of the medieval Mediterranean, when the Knights of St. John had occupied the island for two hundred years while attempting to re-conquer Jerusalem during the fourth crusade. The Italian state’s goals were twofold. On the one hand, it maintained that establishing a popular destination for resort tourism and well-to-do Italian and European travelers could help to offset the financial costs of the colonial project to “regenerate” the entire Aegean archipelago.3 On the other hand— and more importantly—by reconstructing and celebrating the island’s distant Mediterranean past, the Italian state imagined that its own history of diaspora, exploration, and maritime expansion in the Mediterranean could become the premise for a new empire in the East.

    Journal of Arts & Humanities Volume 10, Issue 02, 2021: 28-50 Article Received: 02-02-2021 Accepted: 22-02-2021 Available Online: 28-02-2021 ISSN: 2167-9045 (Print), 2167-9053 (Online) DOI: https://doi.org/10.18533/jah.v10i2.2053 The Enthroned Virgin and Child with Six Saints from Santo Stefano Castle, Apulia, Italy Dr. Patrice Foutakis1 ABSTRACT A seven-panel work entitled The Monopoli Altarpiece is displayed at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, Massachusetts. It is considered to be a Cretan-Venetian creation from the early fifteenth century. This article discusses the accounts of what has been written on this topic, and endeavors to bring field-changing evidence about its stylistic and iconographic aspects, the date, the artists who created it, the place it originally came from, and the person who had the idea of mounting an altarpiece. To do so, a comparative study on Byzantine and early-Renaissance painting is carried out, along with more attention paid to the history of Santo Stefano castle. As a result, it appears that the artist of the central panel comes from the Mystras painting school between 1360 and 1380, the author of the other six panels is Lorenzo Veneziano around 1360, and the altarpiece was not a single commission, but the mounting of panels coming from separate artworks. The officer Frà Domenico d’Alemagna, commander of Santo Stefano castle, had the idea of mounting different paintings into a seven-panel altarpiece between 1390 and 1410. The aim is to shed more light on a piece of art which stands as a witness from the twilight of the Middle Ages and the dawn of Renaissance; as a messenger from the Catholic and Orthodox pictorial traditions and collaboration; finally as a fosterer of the triple Byzantine, Gothic, Renaissance expression.
