Due to its long Medieval history, the entire island of Rhodes is like a trip back in time. One of the best preserved Medieval towns in Europe, the Old Town of Rhodes is a fantastic place to walk. Visitors shall see the Knights Street, the magnificent Palace of the Grand Master, the Archaeological Museum housed in an old hospital building, the old port of Mandraki, and many other sights. A drive around the island will also bring you to Medieval Castles, such as Monolithos Castle and the Acropolis of Lindos. In order to get the best view of the Medieval side of Rhodes, combine your holidays with the Medieval Rose Festival that takes place on the island every June.
