点评:The Old Town of Rhodes has a population of about 6,100 residents. The medieval walls, with seven gates, surrounding Old Town are about are about 2.5 miles. One of those seven gates is “Gate of the Apostle Paul.” My Greek tour was an enlightening religious education. Seems that the Apostle Paul was a traveler. He spoke to hordes in Athens from a rocky bluff, various visits to Greek islands and port cities in Türkiye.
Old Town Rhoes [and the separate Tripadvisor site Medieval City of Rhodes] originally was founded about 400BCE. The fortified medieval village was primarily constructed by the “Knights Hospitaller” [Order of Saint John] during the occupation from 1309–1522, when the Ottoman Empire [Turks] took control for more than two centuries. Old Town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site renowned as the oldest inhabited medieval city in Europe.
My tour was delayed by a month, originally intended for October. Instead, the tour company erred with the booking date and had me arriving November 10, 2025. I was disappointed thinking that November would be much cooler. Good for me, the guide said that October had been cold and unusually rainy. November was the warmest on record. Luck of the Irish☺
翻译:罗德岛老城约有6100名居民。环绕老城的中世纪城墙长约2.5英里,设有七座城门。其中一座城门名为“使徒保罗门”。我的希腊之旅是一次令人受益匪浅的宗教教育。使徒保罗似乎是一位旅行家。他曾在雅典的一处岩石峭壁上向众人布道,也曾多次到访希腊群岛和土耳其的港口城市。
罗德岛老城(以及TripAdvisor上的独立网站“罗德岛中世纪古城”)始建于公元前400年左右。这座设防的中世纪村庄主要由“医院骑士团”(圣约翰骑士团)在1309年至1522年奥斯曼帝国(土耳其人)统治时期建造,当时奥斯曼帝国统治罗德岛长达两个多世纪。老城是联合国教科文组织世界遗产,被誉为欧洲最古老的有人居住的中世纪城市。
我的旅行推迟了一个月,原定于十月出发。结果,旅行社搞错了预订日期,让我2025年11月10日抵达。我当时很失望,以为11月会凉快很多。不过还好,导游说10月天气寒冷多雨,11月却是史上最暖和的11月。真是幸运啊☺
