The Island of Rhodes in the Dodecanese Islands of Greece is one of the most visited places in all of Greece, and for good reason. The old town of Rhodes is one of the best preserved medieval towns in Europe. The entire city wall still intact and much of the Old Town is still paved with cobbled stones. The town with its maze like streets are filled with buildings representing all of the historical periods of the Island.
Rhodes is best known for the Colossus of Rhodes, even though there are no remnants to view and its original location is disputed.
Many of the buildings from the Knights’ period are still intact, and the Ippoton (Avenue of the Knights) remains relatively unchanged. What makes the Ippoton even more remarkable is that for such a popular tourist spot, there are no trinket shops cluttering the view.
