Rhodes Town has a lot of historical attractions for visitors. The Street of the Knights is particularly intriguing, following the course of an even older track that once led from the Acropolis of Rhodes to the harbour, where stood the legendary Colossus. It now features buildings that were constructed in the 16th century as clubs for Knights belonging to the Order of St John. Each was the inn of a different 'tongue' (the knights belonged to different national groups) and the facades of the buildings reflect the relevant architectural details. The Byzantine remains, including the mosque and Turkish baths are also fascinating.When visitors tire of historical sightseeing they can retreat to one of the lovely beaches nearby. Scuba diving and surfing are popular watersports and there are many other forms of watery fun to choose from.
