Rhodes – the island of the knights.

Welcome to Rhodes, the capital of the Dodecanese Islands. As Rhodes has been for centuries a crossroads of nations and civilizations, with Venetians, Turks and the Knights of St. John leaving their own marks, the island is characterized today by a fancy mosaic of colors and architectural styles. Abundant in golden beaches, hidden coves, bright green hills and fertile wooded valleys, vivid culture and ancient history, along with the island’s special blend of cosmopolitanism and tradition, Rhodes is a truly blessed place.

Start your stay with a journey through past civilizations as you enter the main gate of the island's most important monument, the Medieval City of Rhodes, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Built by the Knights of St. John about six centuries ago, this fascinating living monument boasts the imposing castle with the Gran Magister’s Palace, the cobbled pedestrian streets, the museum and some amazing mosaics, the mosques and innumerable shops within its massive walls. As Rhodes perfectly combines the best of old and new Greece, this historic architecture meets a contemporary life full of stores, stylish boutiques and a thriving café and restaurant scene in the New Town of Rhodes.

Don’t miss to visit Kallithea outside the town of Rhodes with its famous, well-preserved Arabian and Venetian monuments, its hot springs, the palm tree forest surrounding the magnificent buildings of Italian architecture and the small exotic cove, a sandy paradise with its turquoise crystal clear waters. Get to know the popular, picture-perfect town of Lindos with its medieval walls, its picturesque narrow streets, the white houses situated under the majestic Ancient Acropolis spilling down to an emerald bay and enjoy a refreshing glass of white wine with alluring view on the Aegean Sea.

Dive into nature in the idyllic Valley of Butterflies, a true pride of nature with its narrow trails, its lakes with flourishing water-lilies, cooling waterfalls and running waters and admire the dance of thousands of colourful butterflies in this small paradise.

Whether you seek the remnants of a glorious past and a vivid culture, the buzz of nightlife and secluded golden beaches to fall in love with, it’s all here. Rhodes allures its visitors and gives a taste of the entire Mediterranean on a single isle.
