'''Despina Achladiotou''', ([[Greek language|Greek: Δέσποινα Αχλαδιώτου) better known as the "Lady of Ro" was a common island woman who became a Greek folk heroine.

Achadiotou was born in [[1889]] and for 39 years ([[1927]] - [[1961]]) was the lone inhabitant of [[Ro]], a tiny island in the [[Dodecanese]] chain, 3 miles from [[Kastellorizo]]. She made it her daily routine to raise the Greek flag over her island, so far from the Greek mainland, so close to Turkey, as a gesture of patriotism and to underline the Greek nature of her isle.

Achladiotou died in May [[1982]] and was buried, on [[May 14]] with honours. A memorial to her exists on Ro.
