Title: Rhodes

So does the island of Rhodes still have a slinging culture or did they lose theirs long ago?

from what I know they've lost it long ago :(. although I've never been there.

last use in Greece might have been during the Greek revolution against the Ottoman empire. In ambushes and the like...

rip, would have been interesting if they kept slinging like the balearics. If I was rich enough, or a group of people with enough money to fly there, we can probably re-introduce it to them. That would be cool.
