Rhodes, the largest island of Greece’s Dodecanese, also known as the Knights’ Island, has lovely beach resorts, as well as ancient ruins and beautiful historical buildings to explore. The idyllic island has many iconic buildings left from the time of its occupation by the Knights of St. John during the Crusades.

The city of Rhodes has an Old Town, featuring the famous medieval Street of the Knights as well as the castle-like Palace of the Grand Masters. Captured by the Ottomans and then held by the Italians, the palace is now a history museum.

The Old Town truly creates the illusion that you have traveled back to the age of the medieval knights, with its medieval castle, stone-paved alleys, and strong walls, creating a unique atmosphere.

The fairy tale castles, as well as the nightlife, the friendliness of the local people, and its lovely beaches make Rhodes a popular destination for vacationers.
