4Rhodes – Medieval Beauty and Cultural Riches

Rhodes, the “Island of the Knights,” thrives after summer. The medieval Old Town, once crowded with tourists, becomes a labyrinth of history you can explore at your own pace. Cobbled streets echo with stories of Crusaders and Ottoman sultans, while the Palace of the Grand Master gleams in the golden autumn light.

Inland, the valley of the Butterflies and the forested hills of Profitis Ilias are perfect for scenic drives and gentle hikes. Rhodes’ beaches—especially Tsambika and Anthony Quinn Bay—remain inviting well into October. Autumn also brings local festivals celebrating the olive and grape harvest, giving visitors the chance to mingle with islanders over meze, wine, and music. It’s a season that balances relaxation with cultural depth.
