The streets of the old town are fantastic. It's easy to get lost without a sense of direction 😅

Owl Fountain, Hippocrates Square

Highlight • Monument

The Ippokratou Square with its owl fountain and the many restaurants is an imposing square that you should definitely enter through the Thalassini Gate. From here, paths lead in all directions of the old town. There we ate a very good, award-winning ice cream, which is really recommendable :) (Enter through the gate mentioned, towards the fountain and then keep left)

Church of the Virgin of the Burgh Ruins

Highlight • Religious Site

The ruins of this Gothic Roman Catholic church are inside the medieval town, near the Gate of the Virgin. The church dates from the 14th century and was most likely one of the first buildings erected by the knights. During the Turkish occupation of Rhodes, the Ottomans converted the church into a mosque. Not much remains today due to the bombings of World War II. Only the three apses and parts of the small chapel have survived. However, it is an important monument as there are few other Roman Catholic churches from this period left on the islands. Fun Fact: The name "Burgh" comes from the commoners (as opposed to the knights) who inhabited this part of town

St. Peter's Tower (Rhodes)

Highlight • Historical Site

Tower St. Peter is located on the western side of the Gate of Freedom was one of the defenses that protected the north- eastern side of the city.

The Knights, after conquering Rhodes in 1308, restored the walls with a few minor changes during the magisterium of the Grand Masters Heredia (1377-1396) and Naillac (1396-1421) the walls were almost entirely rebuilt and new amended and reinforced in the second half of the fifteenth century.

The tower dedicated to St. Peter belongs to this time: it was built by Grand Master Zacosta from 1461 to 1464 during the pontificate of Pope Pius II, whose crest can be seen on the tower. In addition to the construction of new fortifications, Grand Masters placed on the walls of bas-reliefs of the angels in the city.

September 29, 2025,Rhodos: Flucht vor den Wolken 🌧️

Today, the weather forecast actually predicted rain, and the clouds had already gathered. But this time, we didn't want to live up to our nickname "The Rainmakers" without a fight. So, off we went cloud-blowing💨 We drove the clouds ahead of us along the coastal promenade all the way to Kritika. But then we briefly ran out of steam, and …

We start our sightseeing tour at Mandraki harbor and stroll along the water to Elli Beach and the northernmost point of Rhodes. The Turkish southwest coast seems to be within reach from here.

Our next destination is Monte Smith Hill with the remains of an ancient acropolis.

October 13, 2022,20221013 🇬🇷: Rhodos Altstadt - Akropolis

Today we were on Rhodes. There we lay directly in front of the wonderful old town, which we walked through extensively. We particularly liked the "walk on the walls", a 1.5 km long path on the city wall. The Acropolis of Rhodes, on the other hand, was completely scaffolded and not really great 😀
