Rhodes is renowned for having one of the most well-preserved examples of medieval architecture in the world. The astonishing medieval Old Town of Rhodes was built by the Knights of St. John during the 13th century.

The Old Town was divided into two parts: the northern part, which was the internal fortress of the Knights where the Palace was housed, and the larger southern part, where the Greeks and Europeans lived. The Street of the Knights is one of the most amazing medieval relics in existence. The Street of the Knights stretches more than 600 metres and was the path that led straight from the entrance of the port to the entrance of the Grand Masters Palace.

In 1988, UNESCO declared Rhodes Old Town a World Heritage Site. Today, the Old Town, which has a population of approximately 6000 inhabitants, houses a plethora of museums, tourist shops, restaurants, cafes and bars. It is impossible not to enjoy getting lost in the labyrinth of streets and lanes that compose the Old Town. While exploring the cobbled roads, you can smell, taste and feel history all around you. The Old Town of Rhodes is a site not to be missed during a visit to this fabled island.
