CARWIZ RENT A CAR RHODES PORT
Rhodes, the largest of the Dodecanese islands, is a land where ancient history, knightly legends, and sun-drenched beaches meet. Known as the “Island of the Knights,” Rhodes has been a strategic crossroads for millennia, leaving behind layers of architectural and cultural heritage that still shape the island’s identity today.
WHAT TO DO IN RHODES?
The Medieval Old Town of Rhodes, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is one of the best-preserved medieval towns in Europe. Step through its stone gates and find yourself in a maze of cobbled alleys, Gothic arches, and impressive buildings like the Palace of the Grand Master, the Street of the Knights, and the old Byzantine churches, now flanked by lively shops and cafés.
Beyond the walls, Rhodes Town offers a cosmopolitan blend of ancient ruins, Ottoman baths, Italianate architecture, and buzzing nightlife. A walk along the seafront brings you to Mandraki Harbor, where, legend has it, the Colossus of Rhodes once stood.
The island's interior is equally compelling—visit Lindos, with its whitewashed houses and an acropolis that towers above the Aegean, or explore Seven Springs, a lush forested area ideal for hiking and picnicking. The Valley of the Butterflies is a seasonal wonder where thousands of butterflies gather in the summer months.
Beach lovers can choose from sandy stretches like Tsambika, Faliraki, and the windsurfing paradise of Prasonisi. From rich mythology and knightly tales to modern resort luxury, Rhodes delivers history, adventure, and relaxation all in one sun-kissed package.
