Fisheries in the Dodecanese Islands Executive Summary Given the remote nature of the Dodecanese islands and the seasonal nature of the region’s tourism, fishing still has a certain role to play in overall economic activity. Even so, it contributes scarcely more than 1% to the economy. During the tourist season, fishing and tourism complement each other.

Within this context, the contribution of women to sustainable local development over the years is essential to be explored in order to highlight the importance of their offer. This research aims to investigate the role of women in environmental protection for sustainable local development in a Greek island, Rhodes. A semi-structured interview was designed as a data collection tool. It was a field research which was conducted in the villages of the island as well as in the city of Rhodes. The sample of the survey was composed of women over sixty-five (65) years of age. The results of the survey show that the participation of women was particularly important in the environmental protection of the island, as their daily habits and occupations were environmentally friendly. The yards of their houses were decorated with flowers and trees.

  • Rhodes Island
    RHODES ISLAND Rhodes town is the largest settlement and capital city of the island. It is famous as the ancient site of the Colossus (c 280BC), one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, and as the oldest inhabited medieval town in Europe. Rhodes was declared a World Heritage City by UNESCO in 1988. Now about 6000 people live and work in the same buildings the Knights of St. John lived in six centuries ago. The total population of the city is roughly 100 000. Rhodes is one of the largest and most fertile of the Greek Islands, and is one of the most visited because of its combination of beaches, archaeological sites, and extensive medieval town. The climate is particularly good, with the weather typically sunny and mild. The island is usually counted as one of the Dodecanese, but due to its importance for travelers is considered separately here. The rock-rose is so prolific here that it has been named the 'Island of Roses,' though modern scholars doubt the ancient theory that the island's name comes from the Greek word for rose. While the northern coast is renowned for its lively tourist resorts the south offers tranquil beaches and a slower, simpler pace of life. Harbour gates in Rhodes city The Colossus of Rhodes was a statue of the Greek titan-god of the sun Helios, erected in the city of Rhodes, on the Greek island of the same name, by Chares of Lindos in 280 BC. One of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, it was constructed to celebrate Rhodes' victory over the ruler of Cyprus, Antigonus I Monophthalmus, whose son unsuccessfully besieged Rhodes in 305 BC.
