Rhodes, the island of the Knights, is one of the most magnificent islands in Greece and the largest one among the Dodecanese Islands.

Rhodes is an attractive place with its castles that keep medieval Europe alive, its streets reflecting today's modern world and its stunning beaches. This island definitely deserves to be explored with its countless places to visit, along with its beautiful natural and historical sites.

Let's start by saying that it is one of the best preserved medieval cities, according to the Unesco World Cultural Heritage list.

The Suleymaniye Mosque on one side and the Greek Archaeological Museum on the other… The Street of the Knights on one side and the Greek Taverns on the other, and at one point, you realize that history is everywhere. The island of Rhodes has changed hands often throughout the time and this sure is reflected in all its beauty. It dazzles with its castles built by knights in the Middle Ages. The Palace of the Grand Master of the Knights is also their heritage. In the 1500s, Suleiman the Magnificent conquered Rhodes leaving the island under the rule of the Ottomans for some 400 years.

Even in the Old City alone, there are countless places to visit, from the Hippocrates Square, to the most famous street of the Old City - the Street of the Knights, to the Suleymaniye Mosque and the Archaeological Museum.

Once you’ve seen enough historical places in the Old City, you will need to take some short car trips to see the other beautiful sites of Rhodes. For example, Lindos is a pretty village of Rhodes with its narrow streets painted white. During this trip, we recommend that you do not miss the opportunity to relax in the beautiful bays and beaches of Rhodes. The Butterfly Valley is definitely also among the places to see.
