Rhodes Old Town Guided Tour
A guided walk through one of the best-preserved medieval towns in Europe, a UNESCO World Heritage Site steeped in the history of the Knights of St John.
The medieval Old Town of Rhodes is one of the largest inhabited medieval towns in Europe and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Enclosed by imposing fortifications, its cobbled lanes still echo the era of the Knights of the Order of St John, who ruled the island for more than two centuries. We organise guided tours of the Old Town departing from Rhodes Town, so you can discover its layers of history with a knowledgeable local guide.
