Attractions
On the north end of the island, overlooking the sea, stand the ancient remains of the Acropolis of Rhodes. The buildings of the Rhodes Acropolis date back to the 3rd-2nd century BC. Though the entire Acropolis has yet to be excavated, some amazing sections have been restored: the stadium; a marble odeion - a concert hall or theatre; four columns of the Temple of Pythian Apollo; and a few remains of the Temple of Athena Polias and Zeus Polieus.
Activities
- Storm the Street of the Knights in the Old Town. This medieval, cobble-paved street lies over an ancient pathway from the Rhodes Acropolis to the port. In the early 16th century, the street was lined with inns housing the Knights of the Order of St. John, who once ruled the island. The inns that remain today are a study in history and architecture, definitely worth seeing.
- For a cleansing experience like no other, visit the Municipal Baths (Turkish baths) located in a 7th-century Byzantine structure in the old town.
- Discover the large collection of tombstones of the Knights of the Order of St. John at the Archeological Museum of Rhodes.
Adventures
Rhodes features plenty of beach and sea action - parasailing, fishing, jet-skiing, sailing, yachting.... Have a blast exploring the Aegean Sea!
Shopping
Ceramics, lace tablecloths, rugs and jewelry are tempting purchases. A bottle of Rhodian wine from one of the distinguished wineries on the island makes a perfect gift for friends at home. And, you can find the best olive oil, also known as liquid gold, as well as extraordinary honey, being sold out of private homes by local residents.
Currency
The Euro (EUR), the currency of the European Union, is the official currency of Greece.
