Lindos

posted by qroby on 10 August 2010 at 13:06

I think Lindos is ann absolute must for anyone visiting Rhodes. Its a site of great antiquity and of incredible beauty. After a steep ascent you'll get to the Acropolis which has beautiful sweeping views of the Aegean. Some of the buildings on the Acropolis date back to the 4th century BC. The doric temple of Athena Lindia and the enormous staircase of the propylae are both highlights.

Filerimos

posted by hhook on 10 August 2010 at 12:59

The peak of Mt Filerimos is 267 km above sea level and affords spectacular views down to Ixia bay and the Aegean beyaond it. Its a beautiful sight and with an approach through thick forrests makes a great excursion. At the top of the hill is the Monastery of Filerimos which sits on the sight of the Ialyssos Acropolis. In its current incarnation, it is an attractive structure built by the Italian occupation which sits in peacock gardens. Well worth a visit.

Piazza Plebiscito

posted by njohnson on 5 August 2010 at 16:35

The history of the Piazza Plebiscito is slightly complex as it was initially conceived as a tribute to Napoleon Bonaparte only to be finally be built to celebrate the 1870 unification of Naples into the state of Italy. All that aside it is an incredibly grand place and a congregation point for Neopolitains.

Naples Archaeological Museum

The Archaeological Museum in Naples is considered to be one of the best collections of Roman artifacts in the world. Most important among these are the incredible Farnese marbles which are displayed in perfect condition. There are also lots of Egyptian artefacts and relics of Pompeii.

Museo de la Ciudad

posted by leisenmann on 5 August 2010 at 16:07

The Museo de la Ciudad gives a detailed and thorough history of the development of Murcia through the ages from the pre historic age to the present day. I was particularly interested by the accounts of the part that Murcians played in the uprising against the French forces during the peninsula war. There are also seminars and concerts organised by the museum which I imagine would be worth catching if your visit happens to coincide with any.
