The story of Rhodes, which has been unfolding over the past 2,400 years, continues to evolve with the thousands of tourists, archaeologists, tour guides, artists, permanents residents, businesspeople and students. Rhodes is an island of antiquity. From UNESCO’s medieval town site to the picturesque Lindos, the island boasts so many layers of history, where different eras, cultures and architecture meet.

Medieval town
The medieval town of Rhodes is the oldest inhabited medieval city in Europe where different eras, cultures and architecture meet! In 1988, UNESCO declared the architectural complex of the Knights of Rhodes to be a World Heritage Site. Today, a world of tourist shops, restaurants, cafes and museums can be found within its walls.

Lindos
Lindos lies on the east coast, 56 km away from the city centre. Like the old town of Rhodes, Lindos, the major trading centre of the 8th century, is today a UNESCO-listed old town and one of the most picturesque settlements on the island. On the top of the rock stands a centuries-old magnificent acropolis and the castle of the Knights of St. John, which can be reached either through a series of steps or ascended on donkeys.
