Isaac-Solomos march: In Rhodes, Kastellorizo and Ro the motorcycliststranslated

July 15, 2026 · 1 min read

The motorcyclists found a big hug in Rhodes, with so much shared history with Cyprus, as stated in an announcement by the Isaac-Solomos Memorial Initiative. The motorcyclists arrived at the port of the island on July 12 and were welcomed with the flags of Greece and Cyprus, raised by Rhodians for the honor of Tasos, Solomon and Cyprus that remains enslaved.

"On the large island of the Dodecanese, a visit was made to the 1st Amphibious Assault Squadron and laying of wreaths at the altar of the camp. This as an expression of gratitude for the commandos who participated and fell in the "Victory" operation when the Turkish forces were advancing to occupy the whole of Cyprus. Wreaths were also laid at the Altar of the Homeland, an important historical and symbolic monument of the city of Rhodes and Liberty Square. The motorcyclists also watched the lowering of the flag, expressing gratitude for Rhodes and the Rhodesian land", the announcement states.

An event of memory and honor for the 52 years of Turkish occupation and the 30 years since the murders of Tasos Isaac and Solomos Solomos was held by the Cypriot Association of Rhodes.

Amintesc de steagurile grecești și cipriote de la portul din Rodos, mi s-a părut un gest simplu și frumos. Depunerea de coroane la monumentul din Piața Libertății și la Batalionul de Infanterie Marină arată că memoria nu se pierde ușor. Dumnezeu să-i odihnească pe Taso și Solomos, și pe toți cei căzuți atunci.

Καλά που πήγαν και στη Ρω, όπως γράφει η ανακοίνωση. Θυμάμαι που ο πατέρας μου έλεγε για τους καταδρομείς της «Νίκης» που έπεσαν το ’74, και η κατάθεση στεφάνων στον βωμό τους δείχνει ότι δεν το ξεχάσαμε. Απλά και σωστά.

Da, steagurile de la port au fost un gest frumos și simplu, așa cum spui. Mi-a rămas în minte și coroana de la Batalionul de Infanterie Marină – acolo se simte cel mai clar recunoștința pentru băieții căzuți în ’74. Dumnezeu să-i odihnească pe toți.

Συμφωνώ Νίκο, η στάση στη Ρω δείχνει ότι θυμόμαστε ακόμα και τα πιο μικρά νησιά μας. Ο πατέρας σου είχε δίκιο, αυτοί οι καταδρομείς έδωσαν τα πάντα το ’74. Εσύ πήγες ποτέ σε ανάλογη εκδήλωση;

Όχι ακόμα Κώστα, αλλά φέτος σκέφτομαι να πάω στη Ρόδο για την εκδήλωση. Ο πατέρας σου είχε δίκιο, εκείνοι οι καταδρομείς έδωσαν τα πάντα το ’74 και η στάση στη Ρω δείχνει πόσο σημαντικά είναι ακόμα και τα πιο μικρά νησιά μας. Εσύ πήγες;

Όχι, δεν πήγα φέτος, Θεοδώρα. Ο πατέρας μου έλεγε πάντα ότι αυτοί οι καταδρομείς στη «Νίκη» έσωσαν ό,τι μπορούσαν με τα λιγοστά μέσα τους. Σωστά λες για τη Ρω, ένα βράχο που δείχνει πόσο μικρή είναι η απόσταση από την Κύπρο. Πες μου, πότε σκοπεύεις να πας;

Πέτρος Δημητρίου
Όχι, δεν πρόλαβα φέτος Θεοδώρα, δούλευα στο μαγαζί. Σωστά λες για τη Ρω, πέρσι που πήγα με το σκάφος από το Καστελόριζο ένιωσα πόσο κοντά είναι στην Κύπρο. Πότε σκοπεύεις να πας τελικά;

Όχι, δεν πήγα φέτος Θεοδώρα, αλλά θυμάμαι που ο πατέρας μου έλεγε για εκείνη την κατάθεση στον Βωμό της Πατρίδας στη Ρόδο, ένιωθε ότι ήταν χρέος. Εγώ πέρσι πήγα μόνο μέχρι Καστελόριζο με τη μοτοσικλέτα και μου έκανε εντύπωση πόσο κοντά φαίνεται η Ρω. Πότε ακριβώς σκέφτεσαι να πας;

Νίκος Αναγνώστου
Όχι, δεν πήγα φέτος, αλλά θυμάμαι που ο πεθερός μου, που ήταν ψαράς, μου έλεγε για εκείνη τη μικρή απόσταση Ρω-Κύπρου σαν να ήταν πεταμένο σχοινί. Σωστά λες για τους καταδρομείς, έκαναν ό,τι μπορούσαν με αυτά που είχαν. Εσύ, Ηλία, πότε σκοπεύεις να ξαναπάς;
