The higher the altitude and the farther away from the
city lights, the more the sky reveals its majesty. You can notice countless
stars that are visible even to the naked eye. In recent years, residents and
travelers have been looking for places to observe the sky and the most
organized ones who want to capture the moment forever … bring their gear,
too! Many places on Rhodes are suitable for star observation and
astrophotography, but a group of astronomers discovered that the area by the
castle of Monolithos is ideal. There is even a permanent base set up for a
professional telescope.
