The Streets of Rhodes
Sometimes no plan is a good plan. Take some time wandering around the streets, and get lost. Have a good pair of shoes and have fun walking around. There are plenty of hidden gems and surprises within the inner city.
Walking on the moets
Plenty of cannon balls around, Ottoman must be fighting hard to get in to the city.
Fortification of Rhodes
A slow stroll of 2.5km long walk on the battlement with fantastic view. The entrance is located near the Palace of the Grand Master’s exit door. It is open only from 12 to 3 in the afternoon.
View from the Fortification Wall
There are many Tavernas around to enjoy a nice evening with food and drink. Lots of shopping for souvenirs or simply anything. Many spots for photography and painting. Just try to avoid stepping on the cat poo.
