Most notable is the remarkably well-preserved medieval walled city of the Knights Hospitalers of St. John of Jerusalem, with fascinating castles and palaces, buildings of Byzantine and Turkish architecture.

 Of interest too, are the glowing municipal flower gardens and the Museum of Rhodes, which contains, among other interesting items, the famous Venus of Rhodes. Short excursions from the city take you to the ancient cities of Lindos, with its temple of Athena on its acropolis overlooking the sea. It is a triangular rock round which it has built a small beautiful city, where you can be lost in narrow small streets. Lindos reminds more a Cyclades island style despite an island of Dodecanese. Hundreds of shops with tourist items waiting for you to discover the treasures that they hide. Taverns with amazing view in the sea while donkeys undertake the transport of those who do not wish to walk. The Citadel of Lindos was build in the 12th century B.C. from the Dorians and it was the most powerful city of the island. Further south in the Seven Sources, you will enter in the eminent tunnel - it does not consist those who they have problem of claustrophobia, in the Kattavia you will enjoy a different landscape - more deserted.

In the Prasonisi you will satisfy swimming, cicadas and sunshine. Another place of interest is Kamiros, whose excavations reveal life in ancient times in the same detail as Pompeii does of a later period, the valley of butterflies and the Monastery of Philerimos, among other points of interest. Entering the port in Mandraki we can see the two pillars that today are there supposed to stand the Colossus of Rhodes. The city of Rhodes is separated substantially in two parts. "Old" - that is encompassed from double wall - and new. Different style, colour, separate personality. However and the two have the known label: Welcome.
