Mandraki Harbor is one of three harbors on Rhodes and the only yacht harbor. It is thought one of the Seven Wonders of the World, the statue Colossus of Rhodes once stood in this harbor.
Travelers today will find deer sculptures, medieval windmills and the St. Nicholas fortress at the entrance. The windmills were once used to grind grain brought to the harbor by ancient cargo ships; most have disintegrated, but three have been renovated.
Mandraki Harbor was once the military port for Rhodes and could be closed by chains. Now yachts, cruise ships and fishing boats share the harbor.
