About this Stone
High above Rhodes Town, the Acropolis of Rhodes takes us back to the ancient city of Rhodes, which was founded in 408 BC. Unlike many Greek acropolises, this one wasn’t heavily fortified and instead developed as a space filled with temples, public buildings and places for sport and entertainment. Today, you can still see remains of the Temple of Apollo, the ancient stadium and the small Odeon, all sitting on Monte Smith hill overlooking the city and sea. And somewhere among all that ancient history, there is now something slightly more modern waiting to be discovered, a penguin stone is hidden here too.
