Palace of the Grand Master of the Knights of Rhodes

Originally a medieval castle called Kastello, it was destoyed in 1856 and resurrected in 1939. Now, it's the crown jewel of the Old Town. Inside, ancient mosaics bedeck the floors, and you'll find a unique collection of 16th and 17th-century Western furniture. On a hot day, the castle's massive walls provide a much-needed reprieve from the heat.

Do & See

Rhodes offers a variety of activities all year round: the island’s natural beauty, ancient monuments from its long and often turbulent history, and a wonderful atmosphere aided in no small part by the warm hospitality of the locals.
