The largest of the Dodecanese islands, Rhodes is an island famed just as much for its beautiful landscapes and beaches, as it is for its history and medieval architecture. The old town of Rhodes is a mixture of Medieval, Ottoman, and Greek influence and wandering the narrow alleys will take you back in time to when this island was better known as ‘the island of the Knights’! The majestic Palace of the Grand Masters conveys a sense of the power that the medieval Knights exercised for over 200 years. Although Rhodes’ history can be seen and felt throughout the island, its beauty and hospitable locals are ultimately what have drawn travelers here for centuries.
