  Rodosto - LoveToKnow 1911
RODOSTO (Turkish, Tekir Dagh), a town of European Turkey, in the vilayet of Adrianople, on the coast of the Sea of Marmora, 78 m.
The picturesque Bay of Rodosto is enclosed by the great promontory of Combos, a spur about 2000 ft. in height from the hilly plateau to the north.
Rodosto was long a great depot for the produce of the Adrianople district, but its trade suffered when Dedeagatch became the terminus of the railway up the Maritza, and the town is now dependent on its maritime trade, especially its exports to Constantinople.

 Mustafa Kemal   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
Although he opposed the German influence on the Ottoman army to the point of making a standing enemy of War Minister Enver Pasha, Kemal nevertheless proved to be a brilliant commander in accomplishing Germany’s war aims.
In 1915, Kemal took command of the Nineteenth Division, with the rank of colonel, at Rodosto on the peninsula of Gallipoli.
Although in charge only of the area reserves and subordinate to a German general, Kemal took the initiative that established him as a great soldier when a British force, composed primarily of Australian and New Zealander troops, attempted an amphibious landing on April 25, 1915.

By the summer of 1205, Kaloyan held everything on the western side of the straits of St. George except for Rodosto and Selymbria.
On January 31, 1206, Kaloyan's forces slaughtered 120 French knights near Rusium, and shortly thereafter took Arpos (called Naples or Napoli by the Crusaders) by force, killed and enslaved its inhabitants, and destroyed the city.
When the news of the fate of Arpos (Napoli) reached the city of Rodosto, the Venetians, and the Flemish and French soldiers that were guarding the city fled, and the remaining inhabitants surrendered to Kaloyan.

These Greeks did not dare to defend themselves, so our people entered in and took quarters; so at last were they in safety.
Then was a council held in the city of Rodosto; and it seemed to the council that Constantinople was in greater jeopardy than they were.
So they took messengers, and sent them by sea, telling them to travel night and day, and to advise those in the city not to be anxious about them-for they had escaped-and that they would repair back to Constantinople as soon as they could.
