Rhodes is the main city and a former municipality on the island of Rhodes in the Dodecanese, Greece. Since the local government reform in 2011, it has become part of the Rhodes municipality, where it serves as the seat and a municipal unit. It is home to roughly 50,000 residents (nearly 90,000 in its metropolitan area). Rhodes has been renowned since ancient times as the location of the Colossus of Rhodes, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The citadel of Rhodes, constructed by the Hospitalliers, is among the best-preserved medieval towns in Europe and was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1988. Currently, the city of Rhodes is a significant urban center in Greece and a popular destination for international tourists.

Day 10

istanbul, turkey

Arrival: 08:00 - Departure: 00:00

Istanbul's historical significance and its incredible cultural and architectural legacy can be attributed to its ideal strategic location, spanning the Bosphorus straits that divide Europe and Asia Minor. Throughout most of its 2,500-year history, the city (initially known as Byzantium, then Constantinople, and since 1930, Istanbul) has been a cultural melting pot. Today, its population of over 13 million is predominantly Turkish, with many of its residents being recent migrants from rural Turkey, drawn by the prospect of employment and career opportunities in this dynamic, rapidly expanding city. Although Istanbul is no longer the capital of the country, it remains Turkey's economic and cultural hub - a status emphasized by its designation as a European City of Culture in 2010 and the UNESCO World Heritage recognition of many of its key landmarks. These range from breathtaking Ottoman mosques and Byzantine churches and catacombs, to the pillars of Hellenistic temples and the remnants of enormous medieval city walls. However, Istanbul offers more than just Byzantine and Ottoman heritage. A rapidly growing economy has led to a thriving arts and music scene, with an abundance of new bars, clubs, private art galleries, restaurants, and designer fashion stores.
