the nation's capital and largest city, followed by Thessaloniki.
• Greece is located at the crossroads of Europe, Asia, and Africa and shares
land borders with Albania to the northwest, the Republic of Macedonia and
Bulgaria to the north, and Turkey to the northeast. The Aegean Sea lies to the
east of the mainland, the Ionian Sea to the west, the Cretan Sea and the
Mediterranean Sea to the south. Greece has a large number of islands, of
which 227 are inhabited. Eighty percent of Greece is mountainous, with

8. Our School is located at the capital
of Rhodes island

9. Rhodes (Greek: Ρόδος, Ródos
[ˈroðos]) is the largest of the
Dodecanese islands, a group of 15
larger plus 150 smaller Greek islands
in the southeastern Aegean Sea, of
which 26 are inhabited.
Administratively the island forms a
separate municipality within the
Rhodes regional unit, which is part of
the South Aegean administrative
region. The principal town of the
island and seat of the municipality is
Rhodes. The city of Rhodes had
50,636 inhabitants in 2011. It is
located northeast of Crete, southeast
of Athens and just off the Anatolian
coast of Turkey. Rhodes' nickname is
The island of the Knights, named
after the Knights of Saint John of
Jerusalem, who once conquered the
land.

10. The deer is considered as the symbol of
Rhodes, so the platoni is a species of deer
that has survived and adorns till today, as a
protected animal, the forests of Rhodes.
Many legends say that this deer was
brought to Rhodes by the Crusaders in the
Medieval times, but according to other
sources, they lived there since the ancient
times. In fact, Rhodes was called Elafioussa
in the antiquity, which means with a lot of
deer. The two deer statues that stand in
Mandraki Harbor, Rhodes Town, shows that
this deer has been the symbol of Rhodes
for long.

11. The island was said to be born of the
union of Helios (sun) the sun god and
the nymph Rhodos.
The rhodon is a pink hibiscus native to
the island. Many believe that the name
of the island originates from this flower
or from the nymph. Also is known as
the island of sun.

12. Near our school there is a
small forest, The Rodini Park.
Rodini Park consists of a vast
garden of wild and majestic
natural beauty with running
water reaching lakes and
waterfalls, bridges, pavilions
and the beautiful presence of
peacocks, deer, ducks and
other graceful small sized
animals.
The appearance of the park
dates back to around the 3rd-
4th century.
Peacoaks can be found also
and to others forests all
around the island of Rhodes.
So this bird became the lοgo
of our school.

13. City of Rhodes

15. Homer mentions that Rhodes participated in the Trojan War under the
leadership of Tlepolemus.
Rhodes then became a part of the growing empire of Alexander the Great
in 332 BC, after he defeated the Persians.
During the 3rd century BC the city developed into a maritime, commercial
and cultural center; its coins circulated nearly everywhere in the
Mediterranean. Its famous schools of philosophy, science, literature and
rhetoric.
In 1306–1310, the Byzantine era of the island's history came to an end
when the island was occupied by the Knights Hospitaller. Under the rule of
the newly named "Knights of Rhodes", the city was rebuilt into a model of
the European medieval ideal. Many of the city's famous monuments,
including the Palace of the Grand Master, were built during this period.
After, Rhodes fell to the large army of Suleiman the Magnificent in
December 1522. Rhodes was thereafter a possession of the Ottoman Empire
for nearly four centuries.
In 1912, Italy seized Rhodes from the Turks during the Italo-Turkish War.
On 8 May 1945 the Germans surrendered Rhodes as well as the
Dodecanese as a whole to the British, who soon after then occupied the
islands as a military protectorate.
In 1947, Rhodes, together with the other islands of the Dodecanese, was
united with Greece and had their freedom.
