The Rhodes Old Town is one of the best-preserved medieval walled cities in the world, a captivating maze of cobbled streets, imposing fortifications, and ancient buildings that whisper tales of crusaders, empires, and vibrant cultures. Our private tour ensures you experience its magic comfortably and thoroughly.
The Palace of the Grand Master: Marvel at the imposing Palace of the Grand Master of the Knights, a magnificent stronghold and administrative center of the Knights of St. John, whose history dates back to the 7th century, though most of its current form is a 14th-century construction extensively restored in the 20th century.
The Street of the Knights: Stroll down the famous Street of the Knights (Odos Ippoton), beautifully preserved and lined with the ‘Inns’ of the various European ‘Tongues’ of the Knights of St. John, where they lived and gathered.
Archaeological Museum: Delve deeper into the island’s rich past at the Archaeological Museum of Rhodes, housed in the medieval Hospital of the Knights, showcasing artifacts from the Geometric to the Roman periods.
Mosque of Suleiman: Admire the elegant Mosque of Suleiman the Magnificent, a testament to the Ottoman period, offering a glimpse into another layer of the city’s diverse history.
The Fountain in Hippocrates Square: At the heart of the Old Town, you’ll find Hippocrates Square (Plateia Ippokratous), dominated by the charming Seahorse Fountain. This is a popular meeting point and a perfect spot to soak in the atmosphere. The fountain, while appearing ancient, was actually constructed in the early 20th century, beautifully blending into the medieval surroundings and serving as a picturesque landmark for visitors.
Shopping Delights: Explore a myriad of small shops offering everything from traditional Greek products, handmade jewelry, leather goods, and local crafts to unique souvenirs. It’s a fantastic place for some retail therapy!
Charming Cocktail Bars & Tavernas: As evening approaches, the Old Town transforms. Discover quaint tavernas serving authentic Greek cuisine and a fantastic selection of nice cocktail bars tucked away in charming courtyards or boasting rooftop views, offering the perfect end to your day of exploration.
Labyrinthine Alleys: Lose yourself (pleasantly!) in the countless narrow, winding alleys. Each turn reveals a new charming scene, a quiet square, or a hidden historical detail.
