In the City of Rhodes

The city of Rhodes is located at the northern tip of the island.

It’s divided into 2 parts:

  • The medieval city, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site. Within the walls, the area is entirely pedestrian, allowing you to stroll leisurely through the cobbled streets and explore the historical buildings.
  • The more modern part of the city, called Mandraki, also featuring a few beautiful buildings.

The city of Rhodes, particularly the medieval city, is very touristic. So, you will find restaurants, souvenir shops, and clothing boutiques everywhere!

The city is the ideal place to stay in Rhodes:

  • If you’re looking for a very lively area
  • For shopping
  • To immerse yourself in history and culture by visiting the island’s main historical sites
  • If you don’t have a car and want to explore the island by bus or on organized day trips

Here are the best places to visit in the city of Rhodes:

  • The Palace of the Grand Masters: one of the first buildings built by the knights

  • The Clock Tower
  • The Byzantine Museum, with its frescoes and icons from the Byzantine period
  • Suleiman Mosque, built during the Turkish conquest of the island.
