The other day I was for a short visit at the city of Rhodes, Southern Aegean, representing a client before the local Administrative Court of First Instance.
Right after the hearing the winter sunny day gave me a window of opportunity to leisurely stroll in the medieval citadel of Rhodes. The citadel was built by the Hospitallers in the 14th century following their persecution from Cyprus and today it demonstrates Ancient Greek, Christian, Muslim and Jewish monuments.
The visitor is left a bit disappointed, though, as its UNESCO World Heritage Site designation clashes with the existence of roaming vehicles and a handful of dilapidated tourist shops allowed to operate along its cobbled streets. World heritage preservation in times of crisis; a crisis that apparently extends beyond its sovereign debt aspect.
