Medieval Rhodes

The cruise port was only a 10-minute walk from Rhodes old town, so we had fabulous views of the city from our balcony as we came into dock. The last time we were in Rhodes, we bought our wedding rings! Crossing under the city walls through the Virgin Mary Gate, the beauty of this UNESCO-listed city was immediately evident with the ruins of the Church of the Virgin Mary of the Burgh. Cobbled streets, crenellated walls, and gargoyles line the rambling streets throughout the old town. As we were out at the start of the day, the shops hadn't yet spilled into the streets, and we walked through the old town to the famous Street of the Knights of Rhodes, leading up to the Palace of the Grand Master of the Knights. I found a lovely little shop on the way selling beautiful postcards of Greek goddesses. The alleyways and arches linking the streets throughout the old town were especially beautiful.Les mer
