Πάρκο Κλεόβουλος ο Λίνδιος

nice monument with great lights at night :)

Shady, breezy spot. Perfect to sit down, look at the marina and cool down.

I don't know why they show the Church of the Annunciation, maybe because it's opposite the park. As a space it's not big, it's a small park to rest with a coffee in hand. A little oasis. Cleobolus of Rhodes was an ancient philosopher, poet and tyrant. He was one of the Seven Sages of Antiquity. It is very good that they honor our ancestors, instead of decorating us with statues of politicians....

A nice park, but very crowded with homeless people. We tried to sit on a bench behind the monument, but the smell drove us away...Monument to Cleobulus (Greek: Κλεόβοΰλος, about 540-460 BC) - in the 6th century BC. e. one of the "seven Greek sages", the son of Evagoras, was the ruler (tyrant) of the Rhodian city of Lindos on Rhodes. In the city he renovated the famous temple of Athena and built a water supply system that supplied the city with water until the Middle Ages. He advocated the training and education of women, among other things, because he only had a daughter, the poetess Kleobulina, among his children. The modern monument-statue is located in the village of Lindos.The following sayings are attributed to him: “It is best to observe moderation,” “You need to listen, but not eavesdrop,” “Don’t do anything with violence,” “Don’t scold or caress your wife in front of others: the first is indecent, and the second can make others furious.” ", "Do not despise the inferior", "Good people are easy to deceive" and many others like that. Author of numerous poems, songs, charades and riddles, including those that have come down to us.

A beautiful park overlooking the sea on a main street where you can sit and enjoy a coffee in hand.
