Church of the Holy Apostles, Rhodes

The recently built church of the Holy Apostles (20th century) is located at a distance of 7 kilometres from the center of the city of Rhodes, at the highest point of the newly established district under the same name "Agioi Apostoloi" [Holy Apostles] which had been called "Megavli" prior to the construction of the church. The church celebrates on June 30 and also on October 2, the day of celebration of Saints Kyprian and Justin. Moreover, in its churchyard there is a chapel dedicated to Saint Kosmas Etolos whose feast day is August 24. Nearby the church lies the lush green area "Tris" [Three] which leads to the area of Ixia on the west coast of the island. Also, further east and at a distance of 4 kilometres we find the archaeological park of Rodini (valley), with its rich vegetation and running waters, which to this day preserves the architectural interventions made by the Italian conquerors of the island.
