About Rhodes

Rhodes Island, known as the “Island of the Knights,” has a rich history dating back to ancient times. The island played a significant role in the history of seafaring as it was a major trading center in the Aegean Sea and was also home to one of the Seven Wonders of the World, the Colossus of Rhodes.

Today, the island continues to be a popular destination for sailing, exploring the beautiful waters of the Aegean Sea and enjoying its many attractions such as its medieval old town, beautiful beaches and the Palace of the Grand Master of the Knights of Rhodes.

Attractions

Visiting the Old Town of Rhodes is like a trip into history. Excavations of antique Greek and Roman relicts are just beside or even within the in the 14 century built St. John’s fortress, that reminds of the days of medieval crusades.

In the New Town close to the Mandraki Harbour you can find numerous buildings from the time of Italian Colonialism. A visit of the Historic Town with its winding streets and alleys is a must for every visitor. In the small commercial streets with shops of all kind you can also find cafes, taverns and restaurants with shady backyards.
