The place

Rhodes & the Dodecanese

A walled medieval town built by the Knights, white Lindos below its acropolis, and small islands a boat ride away.

July works here with a little planning.

The light

How the light falls there

Rhodes is one of the sunniest places in Europe, and its light is bright and clean. The east coast and Lindos face the sunrise; for the sun setting into the sea, go west. In the evening the old town’s stone turns honey-gold, and at midsummer the sun sets around half past eight — earlier than in western Europe, so golden hour can come before dinner.
