24 February 2023
Why 2023 is the best year for holidays for all the zodiac signs.
2023 is set to be an exciting and memorable year for all astrological signs. This is due to a rare astronomical occurrence that will take place during the year: the Great Conjunction. This event occurs when the planets Jupiter and Saturn align in the same section of the sky, creating a unique effect that can positively impact all the astrological predictions.
We asked the famous Astrologer, Ioannis Boazakis to match which of the things to do in Rhodes will be a perfect match for each of the 12 astrological signs. A first of its kind project that took 2 months to complete with fascinating detailed results.
Aries
As the first sign of the zodiac, Aries dares to be number one in all situations. Brimming with fiery ambition and confidence, this energetic sign never backs down from a challenge—and will make sure they stand out as victor on top!Â
An Aries should visit the spot where the Colossus of Rhodes stood, an ancient statue of the Greek sun-god Helios that once stood over Rhodes harbor. This colossal statue, built by Chares of Lindos in 280 BC, was considered one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. It was an impressive structure, believed to be over 32 meters tall. Nowadays 2 deer statues remind us of the positions where the magnificent statue (even the Liberty Statue of New York was inspired by the Colossus) layed.
Taurus
What sign is renowned for its lavish bathing rituals, followed by a calming Swedish massage and sumptuous dessert feast? Taurus! Represented by the bull, Taureans have an affinity with nature. They prefer to be surrounded in tranquil natural settings filled with soothing aromas, gentle sounds, and delightful tastes—the perfect way for them to unwind after a long day.
A Taurus should visit the Acropolis of Lindos for a truly awe-inspiring experience. This ancient site is located on the eastern side of the island, high atop an impressive limestone rock formation that overlooks the sparkling Mediterranean Sea.
