Rhodes Old Town
With buildings and monuments dating back hundreds of years, Old
Town offers a wealth of historic attractions. The medieval streets
feature Gothic windows and paved courtyards lit by traditional
street lamps. The most famous of these is the Street of Knights (or
Knights Avenue) which leads to the Palace of the Prince Grand
Master. This palace displays several artefacts from as far back as
the 13th century, when the crusades first came to Rhodes. The shops
and stalls of Socrates Street are worth browsing for local
jewellery, pottery and clothes.
