The former home of Colossus of Rhodes — one of the seven wonders of the ancient world — Rhodes seems to have vanished from the list of travel destinations just as the colossal statue of Helios has vanished from its island. But make no mistake: though sister islands like Santorini and Mykonos are the alleged places to be, Rhodes offers the same sweeping sea views, taste of grappa, and sense of Grecian adventure (just with way fewer tourist traps).
