Bettany Hughes Treasures of the World S04E05 - Rhodes: Island of Light

On a journey across the Greek island of Rhodes, Bettany visits a remote ancient settlement in the mountains, home to a vast necropolis and acropolis with over 500 tombs dating back to the 7th century BCE. She also examines the impact of the Knights of St John, a military monastic order that transformed Rhodes into a medieval stronghold, attends a traditional carnival, and visits the oldest in Greece.
