Petaloudes




Europe is one of the five inhabited traditional continents of the Earth. Physically and geologically, Europe is the westernmost peninsula of Eurasia, west of Asia. Europe is bounded to the north by the Arctic Ocean, to the west by the Atlantic Ocean, to the south by the Mediterranean Sea, and to the southeast by the waterways adjoining the Mediterranean to and including the Black Sea and the Caucasus Mountains. On the east, Europe is divided from Asia by the water divide of the Ural Mountains and by the Caspian Sea. Europe is the world's second-smallest continent in terms of area and third-largest continent after Asia and Africa in population.
 
Petaloudes is a municipality on the island of Rhodes, in the Dodecanese, Greece. Its population in the year 2001 was 12,113. Rhodes is the largest of the Dodecanese islands, and easternmost of the major islands of Greece in the Aegean Sea. Dodecanese are a group of Greek islands in the Aegean Sea, off the southwest coast of Turkey. Greece officially the Hellenic Republic is a country in south-eastern Europe, situated on the southern end of the Balkan peninsula. Greece lies at the juncture of Europe, Asia, and Africa. Greece has a particularly long and eventful history and a cultural heritage considerably influential in Europe, Northern Africa and the Middle East.

Petaloudes experiences a boom with day tourists, owing to the clear air, town character with rich culture, high quality of life and conspicuously original history. The picturesque scenery, the majesty of nature, the slow pace of life, and the welcoming nature of its people also combine to make this region one of the most important tourist attractions in Europe.
