Rhodes
Details
Welcome to Rhodes, Greece - a cradle of history, culture, and timeless beauty. Take a journey to the medieval Old Town of Rhodes, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where cobbled streets are guarded by ancient stone walls. Explore the Palace of the Grand Master, a fortress that echoes the valor of the Knights of St. John. Hike up to the Acropolis of Rhodes for sweeping views of the blue Aegean Sea. Engage with local artisans who craft intricate ceramics and jewelry, keepsakes that capture the heart of the island. Savor the rich tapestry of Rhodesian cuisine, a delightful medley of fresh seafood, sweet honey-soaked desserts, and locally pressed olive oil. Toast to new adventures with a glass of wine from nearby vineyards. The luscious varieties are as enchanting as the island's stories of ancient vintners. Visit the ancient ruins of Kamiros, an archaeological gem that narrates tales of prosperity and ambition. In Rhodes, every stone tells a tale, every breeze carries whispers of ancient legacies, and every meal is a dance of flavors.
Early travelers described Rhodes as a town of two parts: a castle or high town (Collachium) and a lower city. Today Rhodes town—sometimes referred to as Ródos town—is still a city of two parts: the Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site that incorporates the high town and lower city, and the modern metropolis, or New Town, spreading away from the walls that encircle the Old Town. The narrow streets of the Old Town are for the most part closed to cars and are lined with Orthodox and Catholic churches, Turkish houses (some of which follow the ancient orthogonal plan), and medieval public buildings with exterior staircases and facades elegantly constructed of well-cut limestone from Lindos. Careful reconstruction in recent years has enhanced the harmonious effect.
