Rhodos seems fascinating! After I've seen Paros, Mikonos and Santorini I've been fascinated and thinking to turn back. Next time can be Rhodos or Creta. Probably prefer Rhodos thus it's smaller and gives a better atmosphere of an island.

Rhodes plans to rebuild Colossus

http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/40826000/jpg/_40826537_drawing203index.jpg


Local authorities on the Greek island of Rhodes are planning to rebuild the Colossus of Rhodes - one of the seven wonders of the ancient world.

Faliraki municipality mayor Yannis Iatridis has offered land and planning permission to erect the 33-metre (108 feet) stature of the sun god Helios.

Greek-Cypriot sculptor Nikos Kotziamanis is leading the project.

The Colossus was built in the third century BC by Chares of Lindos but was later destroyed by a strong earthquake.

Luring tourists

Mr Kotziamanis has been preparing the project for several years, bringing together a committee of well-known European politicians and artists.

He had originally wanted to place the Colossus in its original location by the main harbour in Rhodes town, the BBC's Malcolm Brabant reports.

But the sculptor claims that dithering by the town's mayor has scuppered his plan.

Instead, the brass statue is set to be erected at the seaside resort of Faliraki, notorious as a magnet for unruly young Britons lured by its summer culture of round-the-clock drinking, promiscuity and brawling, our correspondent says.

Mayor Iatridis told a news conference last week he wanted to rid his municipality of its tawdry image and to generate much needed income.

It is estimated that visitors to the proposed Colossus and its adjacent cultural centre would yield £25m ($47m) a year in entrance fees alone.

Mr Kotziamanis and his backers want the statue to replicate the lure of the Statue of Liberty in New York harbour, our correspondent says.

The sculptor plans to make it hollow so that visitors can climb inside to reach the head, which will provide a panoramic view of the Aegean Sea.

Mr Kotziamanis is pledging to maintain historical accuracy and says - that like the original - his creation will be standing on a plinth.

mpravo re leafs nice pics

Leafs, every visit to your threads is a treat :okay: Thanks for posting some Rhodes photos. Can't wait to see more ;)

Thanks george and Raleigh!
I leave in 4 days! My damn digital camera has been acting up when I use the flash setting and i have no time to fix it. However, daytime shots wont be a problem. I will post some when I return!

My itinerary is like this: Arrive in Athens this Saturday. Fly out to Zakynthos early Sunday morning. Stay there for 4 days. Come back to Athens. Spend 3-4 days there mainly swimming during the days and going out at nights. Then head north to Mount Parnassos to visit my grandparents in their summer home in a village very close to Levadia. Then, return to Athens and maybe go to one of the Saronic Gulf islands for a couple of days. return to Athens for 2 days and then come back to Toronto.

Great pics Leafs!


Remember, take LOADS of photos when you go! ;)

Άλλο ένα χιλιοπαιγμένο θέμα (και μάλιστα σχετικά πρόσφατα είχε κάνει παλι post ο kuvvaci νομίζω αλλά τότε κανείς δεν είχε κάνει δημοσίευση φωτογραφίες... )

Τέλος πάντων γίνομαι γκρινιάρης , αλλά το έχουμε ξανασυζητήσει αυτό χωρίς να αλλάξει κάτι.

Αγαπητέ Leafs θα σε παρακαλούσα τουλάχιστον να ρίχνεις μια ματιά έτσι ώστε να αποφεύγονται επαναλήψεις φωτογραφιών και θεμάτων.

Και επιτέλους ας πάψει το spam με την Αθήνα όπου βλέπουμε την ίδια ταινία συνέχεια , ακρόπολη,πλάκα,κέντρο.
Προσωπικά πιστεύω ότι θα έπρεπε να έχουμε σαν πρότυπο τα post του gm...

Σε ότι αφορά τις φωτογραφίες κάποιες (εκτός από το κάστρο και τη Λίνδο ) δεν είναι καν από τη Ρόδο αλλά από το όμορφο νησί της Καρπάθου...

Poliochni είπα την άποψη μου , με σεβασμό στον leafs .
Δεν είναι κακό να υπάρχουν διαφορετικές απόψεις , εσύ έχεις διαφορετική , καλώς , κανένα πρόβλημα.
Εδώ όμως δε μιλάμε για τυπολατρεία αλλά για ακριβώς το αντίθετο !!! Μια κατάσταση χύμα , έκανε κάποια προσπάθεια ο konstantinoupolis να φτιάξει κάποια sticky αλλά κάποιοι τον έγραψαν κανονικά.

:)
Σε ότι αφορά τη Lisbon κανείς δε φιλοξένησε κανένα , απλά έσκασε μύτη κάποιος και πέταξε κάποιες φωτογραφίες από την πόλη του , χωρίς να πει καν ένα γεια , μια καλησπέρα , έστω να ρωτήσει "παιδιά να σας δείξω καμιά φωτογραφία από την πόλη μου? "
Αν εσύ η οποιόσδήποτε άλλος ενδιαφέρεται να δεί τόνους από φωτογραφίες της πορτογαλίας , μπορεί με ΔΥΟ click να πάει στο αντίστοιχο πορτογαλικό forum και να το ευχαριστηθεί.


Δυστυχώς δεν υπάρχει moderator γιαυτό ο καθένας κάνει ότι θέλει . Είπαμε ότι φυσικά και θέλουμε να χαλαρώνουμε με ωραίες φωτογραφίες αλλά με λίγο προσοχή και όχι χύμα.

Ektos apo dyo photos pou den anoixan kai de mporo na xero, i MONH photo apo tin Karpatho, ypotheto (afou se antithesi me ti Rodo den exo paei), einai ekeini me to ploio sto limani (kai ISOS i amesos proigoumeni me tin ekklisia sta braxia).

Πολύ σωστά. Και οι δύο , με το πλοίο και με το νεκροταφείο είναι από τα Πηγάδια την πρωτεύουσα του νησιού.

Λοιπόν εγώ το κλείνω εδώ , δεν έχω κανένα πρόβλημα , απλά λέω την άποψη μου και τις προτάσεις μου και τίποτα άλλο. :)

Re paidia, den kanoume sticky threads yia tin Athina, Thess/Niki, alla poli kai dialegmena nisia yia na kanoume post tis fotografeis mas ekei?

Etsi to ehoune se alla forum kai opos vlepo, yia ta kalitera.

Προμηθέα , δε χρειάζεται να είναι σώνει και καλά sticky , απλά να είναι ένα συγκεκριμένο thread του στυλ φωτογραφίες από αθήνα ή κάπως έτσι.

Δε σημαίνει αυτό ότι αν υπάρχει ένα καινούριο project που είναι σημαντικό ότι δεν θα μπορεί να παρουσιαστεί ξεχωριστά , αλλά τουλάχιστον να μην υπάρχουν χύμα φωτογραφίες , ασύνδετες μεταξύ τους...

One of the best destinations in Europe if you looking for great food / lovely beaches/ awesome culture !!!

απλά να είναι ένα συγκεκριμένο thread του στυλ φωτογραφίες από αθήνα ή κάπως έτσι.



Afto akrivos eno'ousa.

I guess it is the best place in Greece for me...

BTW. @daft freak, pou ise bre? No any little news from you for months. You made me worried. You don't come to msn also...

καταρχήν καλώς ήλθες στην ελληνική αγορά Nuspirit.

Ευχαριστούμε για τις φωτογραφίες σου , όμως μιας και είσαι καινούριος αγνοείς ίσως το thread (φοβερή δουλειά του Christos7 )


Categorized archive of Greek Forum cities

http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=238175

Εκεί υπάρχουν 2 παρακαλώ αφιερώματα για το νησί της Ρόδου!!

Θα παρακαλούσα λοιπόν άλλη φορά να ρίχνεις μια ματιά και εκεί , όχι μόνο εσύ αλλά και όσοι καινούριοι θέλουν να κάνουν post κάποιες φωτογραφίες.
Επίσης καλό θα ήταν οι φωτογραφίες να είναι καλύτερης ανάλυσης (όχι όμως και τεράστιες ) , δική μου πρόταση που έχω ξαναεπαναλάβει είναι 800x600 , το ιδανικό μέγεθος .
Ευχαριστώ.



In case you are not greek , i welcome you to the hellenic agora .
Thank you for your contribution.
Since you are new , i just would like to propose you next time you want to post photos of a greek place,city,island etc. , that are not yours , please have a look at the categorized archive of greek forum cities ( fantastic job of Christos7 ) .
For example there are allready 2 threads for the island of Rhodes.
It is much better for all the visitors of agora , to avoid frequent repetitions .
thank you.

Very nice thread :okay: Never get tired of seeing photos of Rodos!!!

Rhodos !!!!

^^wow!! amazing...another place to add to the list :colgate:

What pictures guys! :master:

Wow great pics! Rhodes is vey elegant! I havnt been yet, im really jealous now lol. Is that you in one of the pics?

yes, it is very elegant indeed. I recommend it to everyone because it is one of those islands that are great for all personalities and ages. the historic old town of Rhodes left me speechless. The lunch I had at a beach taverna in Lindos was the best I ever had. I can still taste the perfect saganaki.....

that is me in the picture at the gate into the old town.

Heres my contributions:
some pics that iv found.

yes, it is very elegant indeed. I recommend it to everyone because it is one of those islands that are great for all personalities and ages. the historic old town of Rhodes left me speechless. The lunch I had at a beach taverna in Lindos was the best I ever had. I can still taste the perfect saganaki.....

that is me in the picture at the gate into the old town.
Lol, your mkaing me really want to go! Btw, were was this pic taken?

is that in the castle? or is that a street in old rhodes?

This is the old Town map. You can see the entire town is encircled by this wall structure, and it is at one of the 7 or so entrance gates into the town that I am standing in the above pic. the knights' castle is a separate thing. the whole town within the walls is a UNESCO world heritage site, with people still living in houses from the Venetian days.

Thanks for that. Since iv never been, I was curious as to were that setting was. Btw, Nice tan :okay: :lol:

it was my third week there, so by this time my tan was deep. I still have some of it I think!
seriously, Giorgos you would love Rhodos.

Whats the nightlife like? Ill definetly go there next time. Im currently planning to go to Mykonos, Santorini Rhodes and Zakynthos. I might do Kefalonia again (the Ionians have the best beaches by far). Ill do Crete also as I havnt been. Care to be my tour guide? :lol:

I hope all expenses are paid by my guide though :D

i lived there in rhodes when i was young, from 4 to 6 i believe...

The nightlife was very dynamic. There are numerous places along the harbor with live music, dancing and food. Many places in the old town as well for elegant evenings out. If you like more raucous places with loud dance music, hip hop, and pop, then there are many places in the new town, especially Orfanidoy street, where the bars and nighclubs are lined up literally one after another.
The fancy Casino in town had interesting international entertainment acts as well, like a Flamenco troupe when I was there.
You will not be bored at night, for sure.

Yea im into clubbing. Wanted to make sure that theres clubs there :P

Did you go to any nightclubs or did you go on a more romantic holiday with a partner? :D If so, how do they compare with Ios and Mykonos?

For most of my trip I was traveling alone. I would say there are clubs in Rhodes for most tastes, although I did not find one that was really large with house music like some in Mykonos. Also, in Mykonos I hardly ever heard Greek music, although of course there are places I'm sure, while in Rhodes there seemed to be more places with Greek music and dancing. Overall the club crowd in Mykonos and Ios is younger.
Except Orfanidy Street in Rhodes New Town, which is packed with young people drinking and hooking up.

Sound nice!
Well yea I suppose I am kinda young so you know. lol. Im sure ill enjoy it.
I plan to travel to Greece alone too, I think it would be great being able to meet new people as I go along, maybe go on a tour. Ofcourse I would have to visit the relatives :( lol but I could always extend my plans!

Thanks for the info, I hope I havnt been annoying with my 100 questions.

i actually love to share whatever I know about Greece !

Just for your information, the Castle of Rhodes is the biggest one in the Mediterranean, even bigger than the one in Malta. As for the island, I daresay that it is a piece of Europe with lots of sunshine... I even believe that the picturesque old city is even prettier than Plaka and much more original...

Many people think, Templar Knights are the first knight order.

Infact it is wrong. The first order is the Hospitallers of St. John. Templars were just the first armed knight order.

Anyway, after losing the Holy Lands, the Latin dominated Hospitallers of St. John moved to Rhodes and this island became their stronghold.

Among Turkish people they were know as Saint John Knights. No word about Hospital was used.

Term Hospital also comes from these guys. Mainly Templars concentrated on baniing business while Hospitallers concentrated on hospitality and healthcare.

This is another island Im definately going to visit.
For a Greek, Iv only ever been to a couple islands.
Lesvos, Spetses and the islands around it.

excellent pictures midtownguy...i have only one question...how come and your pics are so clear and big?my pics are never that good when i resize them although i use a 7,2 megapixels camera....how do you do it?by the way is rhodes suitable for a 28 year old guy like me?

ps...hehe..i asked 3 questions instead of one... :)

My camera is not so great, only 5 megapixels, so I think it must be the image hosting site- I use flickr.com, and it gives me a choice of sizes to link...

Rhodes is great for a 28 year old. The people, both Rhodians and tourists, are out until late in the night partying. There were many interesting places where young Greeks were hanging out.
The beaches were a nice mix of young and old. Failaraki is mostly tourists so I did not spend time there, I just drove through. Rhotes Town was brilliant with life and so was Lindos.

It should be also great to have posted some pictures of modern Rhodes specially the Rhodos Palace Hotel a very nice touristic complex including a 20stories building.

@ Grigoris and the rest of the gang

I had the opportunity to go to Rhodes in 2003 and took some pics from the city of Rhodes, especially the old part with the castle which I liked most.

Impressively, the area looks like Mediterranean Europe at its best and the Medieval castle is a jewel. However, for a Greek skyscrapers fan, this location is very special since it has the tallest building outside Athens, namely, the Rhodos Palace Hotel and convention centre, which, at a height of 20 storeys is a rather unusual spectacle for Greece.

Unfortunately, the hotel is located outside of the city in Ixia - Ialissos, at a distance that one needs a car to cover. However, due to the fact that the hotel is between the city and the airport, you cannot miss it easyly if you come by air. Also, the 12-storey Grecotel Rhodos Imperial and a number of 8-10 storey beasties are located in that area which, as one may imagine, obviously took its current shape during the years of the military dictatorship.

Now, let's be clear on this: Greece has some of the finest hotel in the world that do not need to be 10 or 15 storeys to be included in the guides for the "leading hotels in the world" for example, like the Elunda Beach hotel in Crete (like the Rhodos Palace probably) and many more.

One needs to see though an alternative form of tourist development for which, judging from the pics that you see below, Rhodes was chose to and walked its path for a while. We see a number of big-sized hotels all built many years ago, also renovated many times since then, but still, they didn't take any radical changes outside and by preserving their original designs, allow us to see a glimpse of the development visualised for Rhodes (and potentially for other tourist areas) in the early 1970's. Whether you like it it's up to you, I liked Rhodes in general because it is a green island with many things to see as well as many ways to have fun, including the "Bar Street" (Orfanidou is the name I think) where I paid a couple of late night visits and managed to crawl back to my hotel room afterwards.

Now, in the light of my incapacity to take pics, I bought three postcards depicting the area of Ialissos, which I scanned and here they are:

http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c94/gm2263/Other%20Cities%20and%20Regions/Rhodes-Ialissoshighrises2-cpmpresse.jpg

This one I like most, it has a "Havaiian Tropic" touch in its colours. Is it Rhodes or Oahu? :lol:

http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c94/gm2263/Other%20Cities%20and%20Regions/Rhodes-Ialissoshighrises3-compresse.jpg

Nice pics. But I must say I'm glad about the fact that tall hotels are not built on the coast and islands anymore, they look out of place and tourists do not look for such structures. The big cities on the mainland are the only places where tall building SHOULD be built. Unfortunately, the "ban" applies to them too...

so good!!! what can I say...

Rhodes is a beautiful island!
Rodos es una isla hermosa!
Rhodes est une belle île!

It is simply just marvelous!

historic island with great natural and architectural significance, except some of those concrete monstrosities right on the beach

Simply one of Greece's best islands..Actually Mykonos,santorini and Rhodes are the most turistic islands right?

Simply one of Greece's best islands..Actually Mykonos,santorini and Rhodes are the most turistic islands right? touristic for sure, the best is subjective. For me it would be Syros, Spetses, Lesbos, Ithaki and others

historic island with great natural and architectural significance, except some of those concrete monstrosities right on the beach
Sometimes they are good. I personally like beachside resorts of such a kind.

I have been to Rhodes in 2002 and it as wonderful. Actually, I was wandering in the old city and the night clubs across Orphanidou street.

Few people actually know that Rhores has the tallest highrise outsode Athens, namely the 18-stprey Rhodos Palace Hotel, as well as an array of 8-12-storey complexes all situated in Ialissos, just outside the town of Rhodes on the road that leads to the airport.

Due to the fact that I didn't have transportation and I was also on vacation, I preferred not to go there. However, I bought three postcards that I scanned and posted elsewhere in this foru. I re-post them for you here, to also please the eyes of George, in case he hasn't seen them before. Needless to say that all these structures date back to the days of military Junda (1967-1974) or shortly after, following the usual pattern that we discussed in the history of Athenian skyscrapers as presented in the principal link in my signature:

A different aspect of Greece, partly Hawaiian looking, George may be remotely reminded of similar settings in Australia...

Laries and Gentlemen, the controversial Ixia - Ialissos area...

The Rodos Palace is great and I'm not against all development on the beach, just when it's big, cheap and bad for the environment and locals...Faliraki perhaps?

Nice place..Thanks for sharing..
next year I'm planning to go to Europe
I would like to see big cities in Europe, like Paris, London, Madrid, Athens, Istanbul, Berlin, Rome, etc...
Of course I'm interested to see aegean islands and mediterranean coast...
Can you post other pictures from other aegean islands please..if it is possible.?

Znoopy,

Awesome! I was there for 5 days this summer too! Amazing place!

Teleio!!!

I have been to Rhodes and It is awesome.
Sure at TOP 5 destinations of Greece. :D

I think it is quite mature of the Greeks to leave the symbols of Islam on top of the old mosque minarets in Rodos old town.

I think it is quite mature of the Greeks to leave the symbols of Islam on top of the old mosque minarets in Rodos old town.

When the old town of Rhodes was listed as a world heritage item by UNESCO several decades ago, one of the reasons used to justifiy its status was the fact that the old town contains evidence from every period of human habitation on the island ranging from the classical upto the Ottoman period.

Every building in the Old Town contributes to the overall appeal of the place.

Greece has come to terms with her past, too bad some of our neighbours haven't.

LOL, probably that's why one of your neighbour's name cannot be pronounced at one go.

Where is the colos of rhodos :) ???

You can rebuilt it in the harbour in 1:1 to attract more tourists like the statue of liberty in new york

That's indeed not a bad idea, not that Rhodes lack tourists, but it wouldn't be bad, though no one knows how did it looked, or where it was located exactly.

An archeological team of experts can locate the ancient harbour and the design and height of the statue to rebuilt it in 1:1.

The Palace of the Grand Master of the Knights of Rhodes was built in th 14th century by the Knights of Rhodes (now officially known as the Sovereign Military Hospitaller Order of St. John of Jerusalem, of Rhodes, and of Malta), who occupied Rhodes from 1309 to 1522. After the island was captured by the Ottoman Empire, the palace was used as a fortress. -wikipedia

Acropolis of Athena Lindia at Lindos on Rhodes from the Hellenistic era. During Hellenistic times its school of sculptors developed a rich, dramatic style that can be characterized as "Hellenistic Baroque". -wikipedia

http://i20.picdrive.com/67aurpg3uc7i.jpg (http://picdrive.com)

In 164 BC, Rhodes signed a treaty with Rome, and became a major schooling center for Roman noble families, and was especially noted for its teachers of rhetoric, such as Hermagoras and the author of the Rhetorica ad Herennium. In the 1st century AD, the Emperor Tiberius spent a brief term of exile on Rhodes, and Saint Paul brought Christianity to the island. Rhodes reached her zenith in the third century, and was then by common consent the most civilized and beautiful city in Hellas. In 395, the long Byzantine Empire period began for Rhodes, when the Roman Empire was split and the eastern half gradually became a Greek empire. -wikipedia

The Italians ruled the island from 1912-48 and constructed many buildings in the Italian art deco or 'liberty' style, often drawing inspiration from gothic and moorish designs. They also restored many of the historic buildings, including the castle.

Προς τους Έλληνες που δεν έχουν πάει στο νησί ή έχουν πάει αλλά δεν είχαν το χρόνο ή το μέσο για να το γυρίσουν.

Πήγα για μία εβδομάδα και έτρεχα σαν τρελός κάνοντας 1.700 χλμ .

Αυτό το νησί για να το γευτεί κάποιος ικανοποιητικά θέλει 10 ημέρες.
Αν και οι καιροί(μαύρα οικονομικά) είναι δύσκολοι, ο χρόνος που χρειάζεται κάποιος για να απολαύσει τα αξιοθέατα και να μείνει ευχαριστημένος από την διαμονή του, έχοντας ξεκουραστεί και ψυχαγωγηθεί δεν πρέπει να είναι λιγότερος από 15 ημέρες.

Απαραίτητο εργαλείο για αυτό το νησί θα πρέπει να είναι μηχανή μεγάλου κυβισμού ή αυτοκίνητο.

Έχω επισκεφτεί αρκετά νησιά, ωστόσο αυτό είναι ένα νησί που εάν εξαιρέσεις μία παραλία τύπου "Σαρακίνικο"(Μήλος) έχει να σου αποκαλύψει όχι αυτά που φαντάζεσαι αλλά αυτά που δεν φαντάζεσαι. Ότι έχετε δει σε όλα τα μέρη που επισκεφτήκατε σε όλη την Ελλάδα υπάρχει σε μικρή ή μεγαλύτερη έκταση-δόση.

Εγώ θα πάω μία ακόμη εβδομάδα μόλις καταφέρω να βρω χρόνο και χρήμα.

Καλό καλοκαίρι ...

^^

I agree with OMEYA.

Without a car or jeep, Rhodes cannot be fully enjoyed or explored properly. I was there for 6 days last summer and I thank God that I had the foresight to rent a car> Had I not done so, me and my friends would have been stranded in the island's city center every day and we would have missed out on its beauty, beaches, ruins, histiry, etc...

that was all :) beautiful

a really beautiful island... long live RODOS

Well what can anyone say about Rhodes, its clearly an open museum of architecture, and your pictures are great, really thanks for sharing!
By the way you had a nice time there ?:D

thanx guys! i spent only 2 and a half days in rhodes but it was really great.. everything, exept the wet hot weather...

excellent photos Ovem!!! Thanks for posting...

Θέλουμε περισσότερες φωτογραφίες, γιατί αυτές θα μείνουν μόνο. Την Ελλάδα την έχουν βάλει στοχο να την κάψουν όλη. Δεν είναι ούτε ΗΠΑ ούτε Αυστραλία να έχει έκταση να κάψει. Την Ρόδο την αφήσανε να καεί. Γιατί στις γειτονικές χώρες δέν γίνονται τέτοιες καταστροφές - και υποτίθεται ότι η Ελλάδα έχει καλό εξοπλισμό να ανιτμετωπίσει τέτοιες φωτιές. Δεν την πονάτε ρε γαμώτο; Κάθε χρόνο μόνο αρνητικές ειδήσεις για την Ελλάδα. Από την οικολογική καταστροφή του Sea Diamond, την καταστροφή της Πάρνηθας, τα τραγικά γεγονότα στην Ζαχάρο και γενικά στον Νομό Ηλείας. Η Ελλάδα πεθαίνει σιγά σιγά από τους ίδιους αυτοκαταστροφικούς πολίτες της. Ντροπή σε όλους σας που δεν είσαστε άξιοι να έχετε στα χέρια σας τέτοια κληρονομιά. Σε δύο χρόνια θα φέρω τα παιδιά μου για πρώτη φορά για να γνωρίσουν από κοντά όλα αυτά που ήταν σαν όνειρο και θα έχει μείνει μόνο εφιάλτης με στάχτη. Τι να πεί κανείς. Nτροπή σας.

@ Ovem: nice pictures. I am going there end of august and now I know a bit what to expect. :)

Alexaus, I have nothing more to add. Your comments convey my disappointment 100%.

50,000 stremata xathikan stin Rhodo .................ti na pis me tous ilithious pou mas kuvernoun kai me tetious anefthinous polites.:ohno:

A couple of pictures from the pittoresque village and acropolis of Lindos on Rhodos. njoy:

The acropolis was built in ancient times, but later changed into a fortress.

Hey guys need some info about Rhodes - Ive been thinking about going there in the not too distant future so would like to ask hows situation with British tourists there?I mean I wouldnt want to go to a place which is full of drunken loud arseholes.

then you sould not go to faliraki area. The city of Rhodes is free of those i think.

they're everywhere!,but hey they're not so bad :shifty:

well they never bothered me :P i think the media goes too far...

IF THIS IS IN THE WRONG SECTION CAN SOMEONE MOVE IT?!?!!


My favorite statue..... the statue of rhodes built between 292 and 280B.C!
That was more than 2000 years ago! It 32.6m tall and was about 107 feet tall. I mean it's kind of ironic that Greeks had one of the tallest structures 2000 years ago, but now it's known for being quite flat....... Anyways this was a truly massive and beautiful structure. But sadly it only lasted 56 years because of an earthquake. But an egyptian architect offered to rebuilt it but truly declined because they didn't want to make the Goddess Hera mad...... :lol::nuts::ohno:

If it standed to this day, it would truly be a household name....like the Eiffel tower or maybe the big Ben.....

Anyway here are some paintings of how it looked like. :cheers:

http://joyfulmolly.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/colossus_of_rhodes.jpg

Ok.....:shifty:

if it standed today it would be ok just because it's old....if it was new it would be ridiculed by the local architects.

god forbid we make another one of its kind.:ohno:

^^ If the statue was still around today, it would be more than just "ok". It would be a major tourist attraction, archaeological site, and iconic monument. But such tall, free-standing structure, built with ancient engineering, had almost no chances of surviving millenia of earthquakes.

If there were modern-day plans to rebuild it, many people would oppose it (including myself), and rightfully so.

i've always wondered on the logic of that....is it the height? the fact that it is out of fashion?

how can france get away with the eiffel tower but we get the luxury of rejecting the colossus of rhodes is beyond me.....


i guess rollercoaster would be out of the question too...? :S

Wasn't there a thread on here not so long ago about plans to rebuild a replica that would double as a light show?

I can't find the thread, but here is an article about the rebuild plans from November 2008:

http://www.guardian.co.uk/artanddesign/2008/nov/17/colossus-rhodes-greece-sculpture

yeah, i remember this......but cant remember what happened, although I can probably imagine..

I personally think it would be silly to rebuilt it...the idea and perception that each and everyone of us has of the Colossus is much more majestic than having a copy of it. I prefer to see it in the way I believe it looked like, rather than having a new one stand up there. Truly, if the Greek government and/or donors for the project get the funds to build it...I would rather them spend it on excavating the several thousands of sites in Greece or even reconstructing some other ruins before building a new Colossus

fair enough, the problem is that anything LIKE the colossus is not allowed either......

Well, the Eiffel Tower is not a recreation of a lost ancient monument. It's an original structure that reflects the time period it was built in (1880s).

Rebuilding the Colossus of Rhodes today is one of those tourism pipe dreams that is doomed to become a white elephant. Thankfully, I'm not aware of any mainstream campaign to build it.

You may remember a similar -but far worse- project some years ago by some Greek-Americans to deface a forested mountain in Makedonía and carve a huge sculpture of Alexander the Great's face on the side of the mountain; supposedly, many centuries ago, Alexander the Great wanted his bust carved out of that mountain. Aside from the fact that this would have been a monstrosity that would have defaced the beautiful Greek countryside, caused environmental problems, threatened nearby medieval monuments, and even possibly start an "Alexander war" with our neighbors, it would have been such a boondoggle. The only people in Greece that supported this idea were the residents of a nearby village who were convinced it would bring tourism. Thankfully, neither did the wider Greek public take this project seriously, nor did the Greek State support and approve it, and the project is now forgotten.

Of course, there are two key differences between these two projects. Firstly, the Colossus would be built in an urban area (the old port of Rhodes City), hence no immediate impact on the environment, as opposed to the Alexander carving which would be carved out of precious forest. And secondly, Rhodes is already a major tourist destination, as opposed to that small village in Makedonía. However, I don't see the Colossus having any economic benefit; Rhodes would not attract a significant amount of additional tourists, interested in seeing a modern reacreation of a lost ancient monument. The only reason for this project would be purely nostalgic, and it wouldn't aesthetically improve Rhodes City, IMO. It would be a waste of money; the money of these hypothetical donors would be more useful in other cultural and architectural projects.

The permanent collection of the Archaeological Museum of Rhodes, consists mainly of findings of excavations performed during the Italian occupation, in Rhodes and the other Dodecanese islands. Mycenaean jewelry, pottery and funerary items from sets of Ialyssos and Kamiro from the Geometric to the Classical period (9th-4th century BC), sculptures of Classical and Hellenistic period and Hellenistic Rhodian coins are the main exhibits of the museum. The exhibition aims to highlight the major findings from the island to assist in the understanding of history of the place.

The Archaeological Museum is housed in the medieval building of the large hospital of the Knights. Building started in 1440 by Grand Master de Lastic (de Lastik), with money left to him by his predecessor Fluvian (Flouvianos), but ended 49 years later, by Master D 'Aubusson. It is a Gothic building with Renaissance elements. The building includes an internal courtyard which is framed by two-storey gallery.

The courtyard, opposite the entrance, is dominated by a sitting lion with a bull's head at his feet from the later Hellenistic era, and in front of it you can see a mosaic floor from the Early Christian basilica of Arkasa in Karpathos.

A second mosaic, also from Karpathos Arkasa is placed in the internal courtyard in front of the stores of the Museum. In the great hall of patients one can see the tombstones of the Knights, various emblems of the knights and a Roman sarcophagus used as grave for the Grand Master Kornegian. In the dining room, embossed columns of Late Antiquity from Nisyros were fitted .

On the south side rooms of the gallery there are samples of Rodian sculpture from the Archaic to the Roman period. Two kouroi are the main exhibits of archaic hall, which originally served as the galley of the hospital. Below, the hall of Timaristas with the headstone of Kritous and Timaristas from the 5th century BC from Kamiro, and the column of Kalliarista from Rhodes in the 4th century BC. In the museum garden variuos sculptures are exhibited, such as the Nike statue from the Hellenistic period.

In the southern atrium there is a mosaic from Arkasa of Karpathos. |In the next three rooms Hellenistic sculptures are presented as the bathing Aphrodite statue , the giant head of God Helios (Sun) -a representative work of Rhodian baroque, the statuette of Aphrodite apolouomenis, a Roman portrait of the poet of New Comedy Menandros etc.

^^ Those photos should be really old; around 1910 i believe they are

well, actually it couldn't be around 1910 since many of the buildings contructed under the italian governement are already there. Italian occupied the islands in the period 1912-1943.

pict (1) I believe shows passengers aproaching to the main (central) harbour of the city.

pict (2) is the Grande Albergo delle Rose with the trambolino

pict (3) is the original cross on the Filerimo, the one destroyed by the italians themselves during WWII as it was a constant target for the allies to bomb the nearby military airport

pict (4) is the same Grande Albergo delle Rose

pict (5) is the Poste building with some of the post carriages

pict (6) shows a hydroplane in the central harbour

pict (7) is a view of what today is the Dimarxeion central square

pict (8) must be Socratus street in the Old town

pict (9) is a space somewhere in the centre of the city as it is today

pict (10) could be where the Aegean University is today (?)

pict (11) is the Ippotwn street

pict (12) is one of the muslim temples in the Old town

Nice photos. The city of Rhodes is a Masterpiece. It's the most beautiful Greek city IMO. I've been there twice and I'm sure I'll be back there soon :D

I looking for photos of Rhodes downtown, the new part (Hotels area, around cityhall, streets around that area). I am looking for those a long time, but i didnt find any good. Do you have or know a site with such photos of Rhodes?

maybe flickr...

^^ I found one good looking aerial photo of Rhodes in flickr:

Μέτρα για την αποφυγή επεισοδίων κατά τον κατάπλου του «Zenith» στη Ρόδο

Εντολή του προϊσταμένου της Εισαγγελίας Πλημμελειοδικών Ρόδου για την αποφυγή επεισοδίων κατά τον κατάπλου και την παραμονή του κρουαζιερόπλοιου «Zenith» στο νησί.

Αυστηρά μέτρα ασφαλείας θα ληφθούν με εντολή του προϊσταμένου της Εισαγγελίας Πλημμελειοδικών Ρόδου, Κωνσταντίνου Μπούτσικου, από την Αστυνομία αλλά και το Λιμεναρχείο Ρόδου, για την αποφυγή τυχόν επεισοδίων, κατά τον κατάπλου και την παραμονή του κρουαζιερόπλοιου «Zenith» στο νησί, στις 19 Μαΐου.

Η εισαγγελική εντολή δόθηκε με έγγραφο που κοινοποιήθηκε τόσο προς τον αστυνομικό διευθυντή Δωδεκανήσου, ταξίαρχο Νικόλαο Εταιρίδη όσο και προς τον κεντρικό λιμενάρχη Ρόδου, πλοίαρχο Γιάννη Αργυρίου.

Αφορμή για την αποστολή του εγγράφου αποτέλεσαν αναφορές που κατατέθηκαν στον εισαγγελικό λειτουργό από διάφορες ομάδες επαγγελματικών (οδηγοί ταξί, έμποροι, εστιάτορες κ.ά.) σχετικά με τις πληροφορίες που έχουν δημοσιοποιηθεί για άφιξη ομάδας συνδικαλιστών από άλλες περιοχές της χώρας οι οποίοι προτίθεται να εμποδίσουν τον κατάπλου του κρουαζιερόπλοιου στο νησί.

Συγκεκριμένα, στο έγγραφο της Εισαγγελίας Πλημμελειοδικών Ρόδου αναφέρονται τα εξής: «Περιήλθε εις γνώση της υπηρεσίας μας από τους προέδρους διαφόρων επαγγελματικών ομάδων που δραστηριοποιούνται στη νήσο της Ρόδου ότι στις 19-05-2010 θα εμποδιστεί ο κατάπλους του κρουαζιεροπλοίου «Zenith» στο Λιμένα της Ρόδου από άτομα συγκεκριμένου συνδικαλιστικού χώρου.

Επειδή η ανωτέρω ενέργεια είναι αξιόποινη πράξη η οποία τιμωρείται από το νόμο πέραν των δυσμενών καταστάσεων που δημιουργεί εις βάρος της κοινωνίας της Ρόδου σε μια κρίσιμη και δύσκολη οικονομική συγκυρία, σας δίνουμε την εντολή όπως λάβετε τα προσήκοντα μέτρα στο τομέα ευθύνης και αρμοδιότητας κάθε υπηρεσίας προς αποτροπή κάθε έννομης ενέργειας και σε περίπτωση διάπραξης αυτεπαγγέλτως διωκόμενων εγκλημάτων να εφαρμοστεί η κατά των υπαιτίων αυτόφωρη διαδικασία των άρθρων 417 επ. ΚΠΔ.

Την εκτέλεση της παρούσας παραγγελίας θα εποπτεύσουμε προσωπικώς».

Καλωσόρισμα με λουλούδια και χορούς
Επαγγελματίες της Ρόδου υποδέχθηκαν τους τουρίστες από 7 κρουαζιερόπλοια

Του Κωστα Oνισενκο

Θερμότατη υποδοχή με λουλούδια και τοπικούς χορούς επιφύλαξαν οι εκπρόσωποι των παραγωγικών τάξεων της Ρόδου, έπειτα από πρωτοβουλία του Επιμελητηρίου Δωδεκανήσου, στους 5.335 τουρίστες που έφτασαν χθες στη Ρόδο με επτά κρουαζιερόπλοια, μεταξύ των οποίων και το «Ζενίθ». Το πρωί περίπου 200 επαγγελματίες του νησιού καλωσόρισαν τους τουρίστες στο λιμάνι της Ρόδου, προσφέροντάς τους, κατά την έξοδό τους από τα κρουαζιερόπλοια, λουλούδια.

Κατά την επίσημη άποψη επρόκειτο για μια αυθόρμητη πρωτοβουλία του Επιμελητηρίου, ωστόσο πηγές αναφέρουν ότι ο πραγματικός λόγος ήταν μια προσπάθεια «περιφρούρησης» του λιμανιού από ενδεχόμενη κατάληψή του από μέλη του ΠΑΜΕ, όπως πριν από λίγες εβδομάδες στον Πειραιά. «Το ΠΑΜΕ διέψευσε ότι θα κάνει οποιαδήποτε κινητοποίηση στο νησί, ωστόσο η ρητή διάψευση έγινε λίγο αφότου ανακοινώθηκε η εκδήλωση υποδοχής. Υπήρχε καθολική ανησυχία από τους φορείς του νησιού για ένα τέτοιο ενδεχόμενο, αφού η οικονομία μας συνδέεται σε μεγάλο μέρος με τον τουρισμό. Εντονη ανησυχία είχαν εκφράσει και οι τουριστικοί πράκτορες που συνεργάζονται με τα κρουαζιερόπλοια» ανέφερε στην «Κ» παράγοντας των Δωδεκανήσων. Σύμφωνα με πληροφορίες, δύο εβδομάδες νωρίτερα ο Εισαγγελέας Δωδεκανήσου είχε ζητήσει εγγράφως από τους επικεφαλής της τοπικής αστυνομικής και της λιμενικής αρχής να προστατέψουν πάση θυσία το λιμάνι από ενδεχόμενη κατάληψη κατά την είσοδο των κρουαζιερόπλοιων.

«Μάθημα φιλοξενίας»

«Στελέχη του ΠΑΜΕ μας διαβεβαίωσαν ότι δεν θα προέβαιναν σε τέτοια ενέργεια. Το σύνολο των φορέων του νησιού είχαν αντιδράσει έντονα σε ένα τέτοιο ενδεχόμενο» δήλωσε στην «Κ» ο νομάρχης Δωδεκανήσου κ. Γιάννης Μαχαιρίδης, ο οποίος ωστόσο διέψευσε ότι η υποδοχή των τουριστών συνδέεται με τις φήμες περί αποκλεισμού του λιμανιού.

«Αυτή η κίνηση είχε συμβολικό χαρακτήρα, ήταν ένα μάθημα φιλοξενίας και ένα μήνυμα προς τους συμπατριώτες μας, καθώς βρισκόμαστε σε δύσκολη συγκυρία. Ο τουρισμός είναι η κύρια δραστηριότητά μας, διακυβεύονται τεράστια κεφάλαια και δεκάδες χιλιάδες εργαζόμενοι. Θα πρέπει λοιπόν οι τουρίστες να δουν, όπου πηγαίνουν, το φιλόξενο πρόσωπό μας, καθώς το περιβάλλον είναι ιδιαίτερα ανταγωνιστικό» τόνισε ο κ. Μαχαιρίδης. Στο ίδιο κλίμα, σύμφωνα με τον ίδιο, εργαζόμενοι στις τηλεπικοινωνίες στο αεροδρόμιο της Καρπάθου αποφάσισαν να στηρίξουν τους φορείς του νησιού και να εργαστούν την ημέρα της σημερινής απεργίας προκειμένου να πραγματοποιηθούν οι επτά πτήσεις που έχουν προγραμματιστεί.

Το μήνυμα

Από την πλευρά του ο πρόεδρος του Επιμελητηρίου Δωδεκανήσου κ. Γιώργος Χατζημάρκος δήλωσε με νόημα: «Το μήνυμα που θέλαμε να στείλουμε είναι ότι οι παραγωγικές τάξεις του νησιού είναι εδώ και θα παραμείνουν για να προστατέψουν τη μοναδική πλουτοπαραγωγική πηγή αυτού του τόπου».

Οι τουρίστες που αποβιβάστηκαν δήλωσαν χαρούμενοι από την υποδοχή και από χθες κάνουν τις διακοπές τους στο νησί της Ρόδου.

Νέα Μαρίνα Ρόδου:Έτοιμη να ξεκινήσει τη λειτουργία της!

Στο τέλος Σεπτεμβρίου, θα αρχίσει να λειτουργεί η μαρίνα της Ρόδου καθώς δεν υπάρχει παρέκκλιση από το χρονοδιάγραμμα υλοποίησης του έργου, από την ανάδοχο εταιρεία. Σύμφωνα με το χρονοδιάγραμμα, το επόμενο καλοκαίρι, θα έχουν ολοκληρωθεί και οι χερσαίες εγκαταστάσεις της μαρίνας. Οι εργασίες στην πλωτή προβλήτα, συνεχίζονταν πυρετωδώς και υπό την επίβλεψη του προέδρου της εταιρείας "Μαρίνες ΑΕ" κ. Θωμά Τριανταφύλλου.

H μαρίνα της Ρόδου, θα έχει ότι πιο σύγχρονο, έχει να επιδείξει η τεχνολογία, αφού τα πάντα θα λειτουργούν ηλεκτρονικά και με οπτικές ίνες. Στόχος της διοίκησης , είναι να καταστεί η μαρίνα, μία από τις καλύτερες στην Ευρώπη. Στην παρούσα φάση το έργο, μπορεί να λειτουργήσει και χωρίς τις χερσαίες εγκαταστάσεις

Η μαρίνα θα έχει τη δυνατότητα να φιλοξενήσει 300 με 400 σκάφη. Η αρχική μελέτη, που αφορούσε μικρά γιοτ τροποποιήθηκε γιατί τα δεδομένα έχουν αλλάξει πλέον, καθώς το νησί μας, υποδέχεται μεγαλύτερα σκάφη. Θα είναι η πρώτη μαρίνα, στην οποία θα αξιοποιηθούν οι οπτικές ίνες και άλλα σύγχρονα συστήματα τελευταίας τεχνολογίας.

Θα διαθέτει σύστημα παρακολούθησης, το ενσύρματο internet, το wi-fi.
Θα υπάρχει τηλεχειρισμός, καθώς όλα θα λειτουργούν με κοντρόλ από το κέντρο διαχείρισης. Ακόμη και όταν οι ιδιοκτήτες των σκαφών, θα βρίσκονται στις οικίες τους στην Ευρώπη το χειμώνα, θα μπορούν να παρακολουθούν τι συμβαίνει μέσα και έξω από αυτά σε πραγματικό χρόνο.

Στόχος της εταιρείας είναι να παρέχονται όλες οι ανέσεις και τα σύγχρονα μέσα στους ιδιοκτήτες των σκαφών, που θα έρχονται στη Ρόδο. Οι παροχές θα φαίνονται από την πρώτη στιγμή της προσέγγισης όταν το κάθε σκάφος, θα παραλαμβάνει ειδικό πλοιάριο για να το δένει στη θέση του. Για τις επισκευές των γιωτ θα υπάρχει και μικρό καρνάγιο.

Σε ό,τι αφορά τις χερσαίες εγκαταστάσεις, θα δημιουργηθούν καταστήματα, χώροι μαζικής εστίασης, γυμναστήριο, SPA, παιδότοπος και Σούπερ Μάρκετ. Θα υπάρχει συνεδριακό κέντρο και ιστιοπλοϊκός όμιλος, για διάφορες μικρές και μεγάλες διοργανώσεις και συνέδρια.

Η μαρίνα θα διαθέτει και 16 VIP κατοικίες για τους ιδιοκτήτες των σκαφών. Ιδιαίτερη βαρύτητα θα δοθεί όμως και στην προβολή της μαρίνας στο εξωτερικό. Η εταιρεία θα παραστεί στις ειδικές εκθέσεις που θα γίνουν προβάλλοντας, με τον καλύτερο τρόπο τη μαρίνα που σε ένα χρόνο, θα λειτουργεί πλήρως.

^^

Τέοια να γίνονται. Μια ουσιαστική βελτίωση των τουριστικών υπηρησιών που προσφέρει η Ρόδος. Μένει να αξιοποιηθεί και το golf της Αφάντου.

Αυτό το έργο, η νέα μαρίνα θα 'ναι ότι καλύτερο για τη Ρόδο :)

Πολύ ωραία ακούγονται. Γιά να δούμε. Απ' ότι ξέρω, είναι και μία ακόμη μαρίνα υπο κατασκευή στο Ρόδο. Ισχύει;

P.S I've got more photos taken in Rhodes - I only need to find my memory card :D

https://picasaweb.google.com/bichoes78/RhodesIsland2009#

my Rhodes album ;))))))))

Mr_Albalover and Bichoes thank you for sharing your photos with us. Great stuff i would say! I'm Greek and i ve never been to this island :S
I have to go cause as i see its marvelous there! :D

Tenk u, elis, Im not a greek, but i love Greece and greece Island very mutch. I think Dodekanese are amazing with this old history, castles, and culture. ;) I hope in future yeasrs i can visit more of the islands. What u say abouth Kastelorizzo? Amazing litle island. )))))

^^Kastelorizo looks like a beautiful island.I've never been there but it reminds me of Symi which was nice....Of course i've been to Rodos and its one of my favorite destinations in the world as well :)

Anyone have some fotos from Lindos castle?? :)))))

I don't have any pics sorry. Keep saying to your friends from your country Bichoes to visit Greece! :)
That is what im doing with my friends and this year i have about 4 coming and next year im bringing more. They all want to go there too but i cant take them all at the same time.
FRIENDS OF GREECE PROMOTE GREECE, IT NEEDS YOU AS IT NEEDS US, THE GREEKS AT THIS DIFFICULT TIME :(

Its not very easy, to reach Dodekanese Islands. ;)) Long way with ferry. ;))

^Where are you from Bichoes?

From Bulgaria ;)

For most of my trip I was traveling alone. I would say there are clubs in Rhodes for most tastes, although I did not find one that was really large with house music like some in Mykonos.

Heres some pictures from the biggest club on the island, PARADISO. It takes 4500 people.

Καλωσήλθες στα μέρη μας.... :)

Excellent pictures ovem. Thanks for posting them!!! :)

Hey fellow Rhodians and Rhodophiles, just got back from a wonderful trip to Rhodes...great people, scenery, water and food...I adore Greece but especially the islands. Just wanted to share a few of my pics for your enjoyment. BTW, if anyone knows the people at the Gondola Restaurant in Falliraki, please say Hi to them from the two Canadian guys...because of a mix up in our schedule, we couldn't say bye to them. They have the best food in town.

These are pics of Falliraki and Lindos (Heaven on Earth - Athena picked a great spot)

Κιοτάρι και Γεννάδι κατά την άποψη μου.... Βέβαια εξαρτάται και από το τί αρέσει στον καθένα, βότσαλο ή άμμος, ρηχά η βαθιά νερά κλπ. Ένα από τα καλά της Ρόδου, είναι πως οι παραλίες είναι διαφορετικές μεταξύ τους και μπορείς να διαλέξεις, ανάλογα με το τί σου αρέσει. :)

^^ Nice photos, thank you! I love the old city of Rhodes. It still keeps the atmosphere of the Medieval period.

Μια άλλη Ρόδος που χάθηκε ...

Very few Aegean island can compete with Rhodes. It is like a little country with her own history.

Η συνάντηση των πολιτών για την προσπάθεια που κάνουμε να σώσουμε το ΕΘΝΙΚΟ ΘΕΑΤΡΟ ΡΟΔΟΥ ορίστηκε για την ΤΕΤΑΡΤΗ 11 ΙΑΝΟΥΑΡΙΟΥ στις 7:30 ΤΟ ΑΠΟΓΕΥΜΑ στο ΑΚΤΑΙΟΝ. Όσοι ενδιαφέρονται για το μνημείο αυτό και έχουν να προτείνουν συγκεκριμμένες και εφικτές ιδέες και λύσεις τότε δεν έχουν παρά να προσέλθουν και να τις μοιραστούν με όλους τους άλλους.

Πριν λίγο επέστρεψα από ενημέρωση του συλλόγου αρχιτεκτόνων Ρόδου, σχετικά με την νέα μαρίνα της πόλης, η οποία κατασκευάζεται μεν, έχει κολλήσει εδώ και έναν χρόνο δε.

Η ενημέρωση είχε δυο σκέλη. Το πρώτο αφορούσε το γεγονός πως η μαρίνα, παρανόμως (αλλά με υπουργική απόφαση) πατάει πάνω στην χάραξη της απόληξης της περιφερειακής οδού της πόλης, με αποτέλεσμα, να είναι καταδικασμένη να μείνει ημιτελής αν και όταν ολοκληρωθεί η μαρίνα, σύμφωνα με τα τρέχοντα σχέδια.

Το δεύτερο, αφορούσε την μορφή των χερσαίων εγκαταστάσεων. Προβλέπεται η δημιουργία 27.000τμ εμπορικών χρήσεων, μοιρασμένα σε διώροφα κτίρια, διεσπαρμένα σε όλον τον χώρο, με αποτέλεσμα την δημιουργία μιας διώροφης Κυψέλης, χωρίς πράσινο και χώρους αναψυχής. Ακούγοντας ως εδώ, αν και συμφωνούσα πως τα σχέδια ήταν απαράδεκτα, τα οποία μάλιστα συνέκριναν με άλλες μαρίνες στην Τουρκία και στην Ισπανία, οι οποίες ήταν πνιγμένες στο πράσινο, κατσούφιασα περιμένοντας να ακούσω και για κορμοράνους. Να σου όμως, που ήρθε η ευχάριστη έκπληξη. Οι αρχιτέκτονες πρότειναν την δημιουργία ψηλού κτιρίου 30μ (ψηλού για τα δεδομένα της Ρόδου που έχει πολυκατοικίες έως 3 ορόφους κυρίως), ώστε να μειωθεί δραστικά η κάλυψη και να μείνει ελέυθερος χώρος πρασίνου΄και την χρήση του ως ξενοδοχείου. Όταν μάλιστα ρώτησα, τί γίνεται με τον περιορισμό των 27μ, μου είπαν πως σε περιοχές ειδικού ενδιαφέροντος, στις οποίες περιλαμβάνονται και οι μαρίνες δεν ισχύει ο ΓΟΚ, οπότε δεν υπάρχει πρόβλημα. Είχα μάλιστα την αίσθηση πως τα 30μ, ήταν ενδεικτικά και εννοούσαν κάτι ψηλότερο, αφού μιλούσαν για τοπόσημο της περιοχής.

Δεν υπάρχει λύση για την πατατιά που έγινε με την περιφερειακή?

Δεν υπάρχει τίποτα νεότερο για τα κτίρια που καταρρέουν στην περιοχή (σφαγεία, samica, cair, ΔΕΗ)?

Θα φτιάξουμε ψηλό κτίριο? Κι άλλο? Νόμιζα πως αρκεί η ΔΟΥ :bash:

Η στρατηγική των αρχιτεκτόνων, είναι να μιλήσουν στην εταιρεία, να της πουν να απελευθερώσει τον χώρο της περιμετρικής, ώστε να μην προσφύγουν στο ΣτΕ. Ο νόμος για την μαρίνα, υπερισχύει της υπουργικής απόφασης, οπότε είναι σίγουρο πως το ΣτΕ θα αποφανθεί κατά της εταιρείας.

Τα κτίρια της περιοχής, έχουν ιδιοκτήτες, οι οποίοι πρέπει να φροντίσουν για αυτά. Το ρυθμιστικό της Ρόδου ωστόσο, δεν ευνοεί την αξιοποίηση τους, γιατί την περιοχή την θεωρεί ζώνη ελαφράς βιομηχανίας :ohno:. Για αυτό και οι άνθρωποι επεσήμαιναν το τραγικό της επιλογής της εν λόγω θέσης της μαρίνας, ενώ υπήρχαν προσφορότερες.

Το ψηλό κτίριο το προτείνουν, για να μαζευτεί ο κτιριακός όγκος της μαρίνας και να μείνει χώρος πρασίνου. Σε άλλη περίπτωση, αντί μαρίνας ευρωπαϊκών προδιαγραφών, θα έχουμε μια Ανάληψη με βάρκες μπροστά.

Πιστεύω, πως οι σκέψεις τους είναι 100% στη σωστή κατεύθυνση. Με δεδομένο το μπλέξιμο που μπορούν να προκαλέσουν στην εταιρεία σχετικά με την περιμετρική, έχουν ένα ισχυρό ατού στα χέρια τους για να πιέσουν για θετικές εξελίξεις. Έχουν μάλιστα προσφερθεί να συνεισφέρουν αφιλοκερδώς στις νέες μελέτες και έχουν συστήσει και ομάδες εργασίας. Θέλουν να προχωρήσουν τα έργα όπως όλοι, αλλά με ορθολογικό σχεδιαμό.

Πραγματικά τους βγάζω το καπέλο.

Αυτό είναι πραγματικά ενδιαφέρον και μακάρι να γίνει.

Όσο για την πόλη της Ρόδου εκτός από τα 5όροφα ξενοδοχεία στο παραλιακό μέτωπο, έχει και κάποιες 4όροφες ή και 5όροφες πολυκατοικίες στο κέντρο, κοντά στα ξενοδοχεία απ' ότι θυμάμαι. Η συγκεκριμένη μαρίνα που ακριβώς είναι? Φωτογραφία ή φωτογραφίες θα βοηθούσε.

Δες λίγο τη δεύτερη φωτογραφία στον σύνδεσμο (τον είχα δώσει και παραπάνω):

Αν προσέξεις, στο τέλος δεξιά στη φωτογραφία φαίνεται ο φάρος του Αγ. Νικολάου που κλείνει το λιμάνι του Μαντρακίου ... για να καταλάβεις ότι η παλιά πόλη είναι στα δεξιά μας όπως κοιτάμε τη φωτογραφία με τη μαρίνα.

Να και μια ενδιαφέρουσα είδηση!!! Μακάρι να πάρει μπροστά! Το εύχομαι ολόψυχα!!!:cheers:

Επιμένοντας στο: "Να δούμε τα δικά μας" σας παρουσιάζω το ..."Δωδεκανησιακό θρίλλερ"...ΝΕΑ ΜΑΡΙΝΑ ΡΟΔΟΥ.
Εδω η αρχική πρόταση του ΕΟΤ για το πώς έπρεπε να είναι μιά μαρίνα αντάξια της πόλης που την "φιλοξενεί": Πράσινη, άνετη και (κατα το δυνατόν) "ανοιχτή" στους πολίτες και στους επισκέπτες....
Δείτε την!
Μετά θα σας δείξω αυτό που....γίνεται ΣΗΜΕΡΑ, για να βγάλετε τα ...συμπεράσματά σας!!!
