The first exhibition of the Rhodes Archaeological Museum took place in 1914, and was organized by the Italian Archaeological Mission. It contained prehistoric and Mycenaean artifacts, jars of the Geometric, Archaic and Classic periods, sculptures, writings, a collection of rhodian sealed jars, coins, a collection of the byzantine and medieval era as well as a folklorar collection.
The permanent exhibits of the Rhodes Archaeological Museums contains findings from digs during the Italian rule, in Rhodes and the entire Dodecanese complex.
The Museum is housed in the medieval building of the great Knights’ hospital.
Although Crete hosts one-quarter of Greece’s annual visitors, it’s still possible to escape the crowds by heading south. Thanks to the rugged mountains that stretch across much of the island’s spine, southern Crete remains a place apart.
The aim of the exhibition is not only to provide info on the games in ancient times, but also to initiate the visitor in what the Olympics were.
In Greek culture, food is so much more than sustenance – it’s about culture, comfort, family and life itself.
