Ibrahim Pasha Mosque

The only active mosque in Rhodes. On this island there are still 2500 muslems living where their grand, grand, grand parents were Ottomans, stayed here after 1912 and became greek citizens but kept on their religion. They had the right to do so! Today they are Greeks, but muslems. The greek people, more than 95% are greek ordothox, so it means Christians. But always in Greece they respected the humane rights, that means also their religion rights.

From the main fountain going towards to the habour, you will come to the jewish area-quarter.
