8Rhodes – History in Peaceful Surroundings

Rhodes is one of the largest Greek islands, and its medieval Old Town—one of the best-preserved in Europe—is often crowded in summer. Off season, you can stroll through the Palace of the Grand Masters, walk along the old city walls, and visit the Street of the Knights at leisure.

Beyond history, Rhodes offers hiking opportunities in the green interior and peaceful coastal villages. In spring, the Valley of the Butterflies becomes a serene retreat, while autumn is perfect for exploring the island’s wine routes and traditional tavernas.
