Rhodes Old Town

The heartbeat of Rhodes lies in its UNESCO listed Old Town, one of the best preserved medieval cities in Europe. Surrounded by imposing stone walls, it’s a labyrinth of cobbled alleys, Gothic churches, and Ottoman remnants. The Palace of the Grand Master, once a fortress of the Knights of St. John, looms large, telling tales of crusades and conquest.

Wandering through the Street of the Knights feels like stepping into a time machine. Each building whispers stories of chivalry, and as the sun sets over the ramparts, the entire city seems to glow with golden age grandeur.

Wander the gorgeous streets, under the lanterns and stop at traditional Greek tavernas along the way.
