With an area of 1,400.684 square kilometers, it is the largest island in the Dodecanese, the fourth-largest in the country, and the ninth-largest in the Mediterranean.

To the west, it is bathed by the Aegean Sea, and to the east, by the Lycian Sea. It has a coastline length of 253 kilometers, and its highest point is the summit of Mount Attavyros, at an altitude of 1,215 meters.

According to the 2011 census, the population of the island amounts to 115,490 inhabitants, making Rhodes the third most populous Greek island.

At the northeastern tip of the island lies its capital, the city of Rhodes, which, with a population of approximately 55,000 residents, constitutes the largest settlement.

Within the city limits of Rhodes, you will find the Medieval Town of Rhodes, or Old Town, as the locals call it, one of the best-preserved medieval towns in the world, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1988.

Within the walls of the Old Town are notable monuments from the Byzantine era, the period of Ottoman rule, and the Italian period, with the imposing Palace of the Grand Master being the most prominent.

To the northwest and about 12 kilometers from the city lies the Rhodes International Airport "Diagoras," which serves as the main gateway for visitors to the island, consistently ranking fourth in arrivals at the national level.

Furthermore, the fact that visitors arriving on the island by cruise ships number in the tens of thousands each year demonstrates that Rhodes is an internationally recognized tourist destination of particular importance to the Greek economy.
