Package holiday to Rhodes Town

Rhodes Town is a vibrant museum of the Middle Ages and one of the most impressive historical cities in the entire Mediterranean region. The Old Town, completely surrounded by powerful walls, is the best-preserved medieval town in Europe and a UNESCO World Heritage site. The imposing Street of the Knights (Odos Ippoton), where the Knights of St. John once resided, leads to the Grand Master’s Palace — a fortress that towers over the city like a fairy tale castle and houses mosaics from Roman times.

The Old Town is a labyrinth of narrow alleys, Byzantine churches, Ottoman mosques, and hidden courtyards — one can easily get lost for hours and constantly discover something new. The Turkish quarter around the Suleiman Mosque exudes an oriental flair, while Plateia Ippokratous with the Castellania Fountain forms the lively center. The medieval moat and the four-kilometer-long city wall (walkable!) offer spectacular views.

Outside the old walls lies the New Town with the Mandraki Harbor, where the Colossus of Rhodes — one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World — is said to have once stood. Today, two deer statues mark the harbor entrance, and the three historic windmills on the pier are a popular photo motif. The Acropolis of Rhodes on Monte Smith offers the Temple of Apollo and an ancient stadium with panoramic views. The beaches Elli Beach and Tsambika nearby invite for swimming, and the nightlife on Orfanidou Street is legendary. Rhodes Town can be perfectly combined with excursions to the Acropolis of Lindos, the Valley of the Butterflies, and the thermal springs of Kalithea.

Rhodes Town particularly impresses with fascinating culture, excellent cuisine, vibrant nightlife. As a package holiday destination, you benefit from attractive all-inclusive packages with flights, hotels, and often transfers – all at a fixed price and fully secured.
