Rhodes medieval town or “old town” as it is called by the locals is an UNESCO world cultural heritage monument. In fact this is the largest and oldest inhabited medieval town in Europe!

The old town is the town of the Knights of the Order of St. John with some of the building still carrying the emblems of the Order. Wander around the magnificent paved alleys, under gateways and colonnades and through squares and obscure courtyards and feel the genuine medieval atmosphere.

The city of Rhodes is located at the northern tip of the island where the ancient city used to be placed. The imposing Italian architecture is evident and blends beautifully with the rest of the city creating a truly magnificent atmosphere. There are plenty of things to see and do in Rhodes however…

The temple of Apollo, located right on the northern tip of the island on the acropolis hill of ancient Rhodes, is a Doric style temple dating back from the Hellenistic period (3rd – 2nd century BC) that was excavated by the Italian School of Archaeology at Athens from 1912 -1945. Visitors can admire…

Since Rhodes was occupied by several conquerors of various religions it is natural to find several religious monuments in the island. The most popular for the Catholics is the wonderful Roman Catholic Church of San Francisco at the homonym square just outside of the Old Town’s walls.
