λεζαντα THE VILLAGE WHERE PEOPLE SPEAK IN THE CYPRIOT DIALECT... On the south side of the island and at a distance of 28 km from the town of Rhodes, you will find Archangelos, the largest village of the island, with more than 7,000 inhabitants. It was built in the medieval years far from the sea, in order to be pro- tected from the pirates. Today, the locals keep the customs and traditions like a precious treasure, in spite of the touristic development of the area. The inhabitants aren’t affected by the modern lifestyle, following intently the customs of their ancestors. They even have their own separate dialect, as they come from Cyprus, they speak in the Cypriot dialect of Paphos... At the highest point of Arhag- gelos, the Knights Fortress has been overseeing the village for more than 600 years...
