The Rhodes Island It is one of the most spectacular and beautiful places in Greece, with a lot of historical and cultural content, such as the famous Colossus of Rhodes, an imposing and gigantic statue of the god Helios that is in the port of Rhodes and that is one of the Seven Wonders of the ancient world. Rhodes is the largest island in the Dodecanese archipelago and receives thousands of tourists each year, who visit the entire island and not just the main points of interest.
But Rhodes does not live only from the Colossus, the city itself is a spectacular medieval place surrounded by walls and that is World Heritage. As soon as you arrive at the port of Rhodes you will see the Marina Gate, place that has two impressive towers and the shield of the Order of Knights in the middle (they were the ones who built the walls in the 13th and 14th centuries. The city center is very beautiful, it has a lot of alleys with incredible charm At least for me, I really like cities with a medieval atmosphere.
Squares, cobbled streets, fountains, churches, defensive towers, arches and even a mosque. The Rhodes old town It has everything, an incredible heritage heritage, and it is that not everything is seeing the Rhodes beaches. Where more tourists are always there is in the Hippocrates Square and in Socrates Street, almost all the places are named after famous Greeks. The square is very sunny and there all the tourist streets of the island come together, there are bars, restaurants and shops for you to take home some souvenirs.
What you do have to be clear about is that Rhodes is a bit expensive city, since there are many tourists who visit it and that makes them have higher prices. Both the things you buy and the food will be more expensive than in other places, but without a doubt the beauty of the city and the whole island is worth a little more.
