he Old Town of Rhodes holds a multiple range of ancient monasteries as well as churches. To name but a few of the outstanding monasteries and churches of Island Rhodes are:
The Monastery of Tsambika
There is a small and complex white colored church near the village of Archangelos. Being its height of about 300 meters, you can enjoy the coastal panorama of the north as well as south Kolimbia. On the top of the mountain in this region, you can also visit an astounding model of the 11th century’s Blessed Virgin. To visit this site, you should stay in the nearby Rhodes Town Hotels.
According to a prehistoric myth, a childless woman can be blessed with children if she walks and prays to the Virgin barefooted up on the mountain. People, as part of their respect and cult, name their children after the monastery: Tsambikos is used for boys and Tsambika for the girls. Moreover, the day of the saints is celebrated on seventh of September. It is, therefore, a particularly compelling event for the childless women.
St George Monastery
This monastery is also quite near to the fortress of Archangelos. On your entrance to this monastery you will be attracted by the contemporary wall-painting of St George in which he is slaying the dragon. Apart from some good Rhodes Town Hotels, you can easily access the icing sugar tower of the church from this advantageous point.
You can also access a path down to this church via the network of some narrow streets. Crowded by various houses, it is primarily based at the center of the old town. This church possesses a wedding-cake type tower which is visible on various other islands in the Dodecanese group and is quite beautiful. Apart from the more common barrel mausoleum, Cross mausoleum, is a unique feature of church designs on this island.
Panagia’s Domed Church
This church is in the mid of the village, Lindos, which is just off the main square. It is a fifteenth-century cathedral having a dark interior and a black & white stoned floor. Also, it is bedecked with the wall-paintings of the eighteenth-century’s Gregori of Symi. Additionally, the typical division has separated the male- and female-saints on the right and left sides respectively.
Moni Kalopetra
This amazingly white monastery due to the sun-glare can be reached after crossing the Valley of the Butterflies. It owns a silent patio having picnic tables from where you can analyze the landscape thoroughly. Furthermore you can visit Rhodes Town Hotels here and enjoy some light refreshments.
Agios Soulas
This small church with nearby historical destinations, Rhodes Town Hotels, taverns, a playground and racing track glorifies the beauty of this region. This area can be found crowded with people on the 29th and 30th of July due to church’s Saints day as a number of people from around the globe pay visit to this festival. Moreover, the unique Donkey Race of the Island enhances its attraction.
You can find a well known Paris Hotel which is located at a walking distance from the town’s St Francisco Roman Catholic Church. Most of the monasteries & churches are easily accessed from this place. Therefore, your tour will be a great fun and entertainment!
