Rodos
A longitudinal mountain range traverses the central portion of the Greek
island Rhodes. Ataviros, is the highest peak. In the region between the
sea and the central range, the terrain is generally hilly, with numerous
gently sloping valleys. Rhodes has a healthful climate and is noted for
its fertile soil. Among the main crops are cotton, fruit, grain, sponges,
and tobacco.
The chief community on the island is Rhodes, the administrative centre
of the Dodecanese. Archaeological discoveries indicate that the island
of Rhodes figured prominently in the Aegean civilization of ancient times.
