For a stylish holiday, the island of the knights is an ideal choice. It has history and culture. It was the capital of the medieval aristocracy and there are many attractions that are worth visiting. See the most impressive ones.

The Old Town

It is distinguished by its picturesque views and is the largest medieval city in Europe. It is considered as one of the most important monuments of world cultural heritage. From the almost medieval fortress, you should see the fortress of the knights, the Old Clock and the Acropolis, which has many monuments, such as the Temple of Zeus and Athena, the Temple of Apollo and the stadium.

Here, you will find many cheap places to eat, and it is very worthwhile to see the city by night. We suggest that you take a dip in the sea at the romantic beach of Agios Pavlos, where there is a unique bar-restaurant above the waves, ideal for couples.

The Acropolis of Lindos

Antique Kameiros

This was one of the three most powerful cities in Rhodes. Located on a hill 22 miles south west of the capital, the city was destroyed by an earthquake and today you can visit the ruins that were discovered during excavations. Most discoveries are from the Hellenistic period and from the temple of Athena, the ancient agora and the Doric temples.
