During the course of history the town of Rhodes was controlled by various powers including Sparta, Athens, and later the Romans. From a book by A M Myller recounting his travels from 1725 to 1727. Myller journeyed from Rome to Jerusalem then on to Troy, Gallipoli and Constantinople. From Constantinople he travelled to Egypt and then to Syria.
