Rhodes Highlights

Once in Rhodes, the Acropolis of Lindos and Ancient Kamiros should be on the top of your bucket list, while for more insights into antiquity a visit to the archaeological museum in Rhodes Old Town is a must. From there you can set out on a walk along the impressive Street of the Knights, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, dotted with Byzantine, Gothic and Ottoman landmarks.
