Things to do in Rhodes

• 

  Visit the Archaeological Museum of Rhodes

  Located in the city of Rhodes, this museum housed within the 15th-century former Knights’ Hospital is considered the best in the Dodecanese and showcases objects that date back to the Archaic, the Roman, the Mycenaean and the Hellenistic period. It extends from the main building into gorgeous gardens, with room and after room holding impeccably preserved ancient treasures. It includes ceramics, statues, vases, sculptures and more, with its findings from both Rhodes and other Dodecanese islands

  Discover the Ancient Acropolis of Lindos

  One of the best places to experience rich Greek history, a steep path climbs from the high rock above Lindos, reaching this beautifully preserved Acropolis that was first walled in the 6th-century BC. Complete with battlements, ancient walls, a 20-columned Hellenistic stoa and the stunning ruins of a temple dedicated to Athena Lindia, it’s silhouetted against the nearly always bright blue skies and dazzling views of the coast, with the striking white columns glistening under the sun.

  Tour the Palace of the Grand Masters

  Located at the top of the Street of the Knights, this huge stronghold sits at the highest point in the old city and was constructed on the site of an older Byzantine citadel by the Knights of St. John, who ruled from the early 14th– to early 16th-century. The structure that was rebuilt by Italians in the 1930s after falling into disrepair, features crenellated ramparts, towers, pebble mosaic floors and antiques spread throughout over 150 rooms, with 20 open to the public.
