From the riches of the Old Town to the beautiful beaches around the Island, there is some thing for every one



Rhodes, also known as Rhodos or Rodos
in Greek, is considered the sunniest place in Europe with over 300 sunny
days each year. The popularity of Rhodes island is also contributed to its
natural beauty, rich history and great variety of historical monuments.
It's no accident that Rhodes is among the most visited of the Greek islands.
Not only is its east coast lined with numerous sandy beaches, but the
capital's nucleus is a beautiful and remarkably preserved medieval city, the
legacy of the crusading Knights of St John who used the island as their main
base from 1309 until 1522.
The castle of the Knights
of St John in Rhodes town is one of the finest examples of Crusader military
architecture in the world. The castle is really impressive and has been
maintained in excellent condition. No wonder it has been proclaimed a World
Heritage Site.
If you walk towards the small harbour and then turn right and right
again you'll feel instantly transported to Medieval times surrounded by
massive walls and towers. Visit the Palace of the Knights and walk along the
cobbled streets and narrow alleys where a bazaar type market offers
traditional crafts and other souvenirs.
