Right at the entrance to the port, you will be greeted by the statues of Elafos and Elafina, perched on pillars. The jumping deer Elafos is the heraldic animal of the island. Rhodes is also known for its interesting archaeological sites.

Patmos
Patmos - the Jerusalem of the Aegean, the place where John wrote down the Revelation, shines with mythological and Christian magic. Originally, Zeus is said to have given the island to his daughter Artemis. Beautiful beaches next to picturesque cliffs await you, green hills with olive trees, ancient sites and monuments. A visit to the monastery of St. John is a must, here you can also visit the cave where John had his visions. Besides this monastery, the island has many other sites of religious life. Often, the ancient and the Christian are right next to each other, like the ruins of the temple of Apollo next to the church of St. Constantine in Chora.
