Walked less than 5 min into medieval walled city next to port. (Old Town Rhodes) A huge safe tourist area, many sights to see walking around. Historical information is posted on some walls in city. English is well spoken by all. Sat in middle of a town square had local beer🍺calamari 🦑 , bread 🥖 and humus 🍯. (All very tasty) Tried ouzo shot before lunch, and given a free after lunch shot of another chilled honey flavored alcohol. 🥃 ( cannot write name in Greek, but so good we bought a bottle at next door wine vendor) Also went to bakery for baklava’s (beware the traditional Greek is a HUGE piece)🇬🇷

Rhodes was really lovely. Spent the morning walking around the old town fortress and the afternoon exploring the more modern part outside the fortress and went to the beach. For 8 euros a person we lounged on the beach on lovely day beds.

Rhodes is a hidden gem in the Greek Isles. There is lots of history here and great architecture due to its close proximity to Turkey (and in the past the Ottoman Empire). Even if the colossus is long gone it is still a great island to visit. My wife and I went on an excursion to Tsampika Beach which is about 40 minutes away from the port. The beach itself was not crowded at all and plenty of room for all those that came. There was a bar/restaurant on the beach which was nice to be about to get a quick snack after swimming for a few hours. There are also water sports at Tsampika, we did the “Crazy Sofa” which was amazing fun! Later in the day we went back to the Old Town and walked around the city sightseeing. Many old churches which were very interesting to see, I love the fact there are many cats that wonder the Old Town, it gave a cute charm. There are man excellent options for meals in the Old Town and I must say the Greek food was the best here in Rhodes then anywhere else we had it! Rhodes is a hidden gem in the Greek Isles, give it a chance, you will not be disappointed!
