Theologos (also known as Tholos) is a village on the Greek island of Rhodes. It is located on the west coast of the island, about 19 km far from the capital. It is a part of the municipal unit of Petaloudes. The old centre of Tholos is built in traditional Rhodian style with tall shuttered buildings and narrow streets.[citation needed] The church of Agios Spiridonas, with its white bell tower, is among the attractions. It has an attraction for holiday makers with many people coming from all over Europe.[citation needed] Not far from the airport, the town's accessibility makes it even for tourists[citation needed] and in 2004 celebrated tourists who had visited more than once with an award naming them as 'dedicated friends'.[citation needed]
