حول
حقائق سريعة: The medieval walls stretch 4 kilometers, enclosing a maze of narrow cobblestone streets. The Old Town reflects the legacy of the Knights Hospitaller, who fortified the city during the Crusades.
النقاط البارزة: Walk along the Street of the Knights, where grand inns represent each of the seven langues of the Order. The Palace of the Grand Master stands as a massive fortress with pink marble floors that shimmer in sunlight filtering through narrow windows.
نصائح من الداخل
- Wear comfortable shoes; cobblestones can be uneven and slippery when wet.
- Photograph the sunset sky from the city walls near the sea gate for spectacular views.
- Skip weekend midday visits to avoid local market crowds and midafternoon heat.
- Visit lesser-known museums in the Old Town for quieter, richer insights into Rhodes' history.
