6 Castles in Rhodes That You Shouldn't Miss
The largest of the twelve Dodecanese islands on the Aegean's eastern edge, Rhodes is also its most popular. The well-preserved medieval city of Rhodes sits at the north of the island of the same name. High rise hotels line the northern and eastern coastlines. Small villages and resorts dot the island's other shores. Whether your interests are beaches, bars or ancient sites, Rhodes offers an abundance of all three. Authentic Greece can be found in the hilly interior of the 50-mile-long island.

Just love the short climb up to the castle and to breath the fresh air here. The most spectacular views over the Aegean can e seen towards Symi. The small cafe has excellent Thyme honey on offer after the harvest and is one of the best honey's we have ever purchased.

This is totally undersold, an easy-ish climb from the parking (coffee shop nearby for after!) and the views were exceptional. You can walk around and into the small church at the top, and also light a candle (donations can be left there too). There is no entrance fee, but should be!
3. Palace of the Grand Master of the Knights of Rhodes

Largely rebuilt by the Italians this is a very beautiful building - lovely views from the windown and lots and lots of interesting stuff for history buffs - beautiful mosaic floors nicked from Kos. You do get a feel for how the palace was during the crusades.

Probably the most ruinous of the castles on Rhodes it can easily be seen on the road to Lindos from Rhodes town. There is a small parking area and a small sign showing the path to the castle. It takes 20 to 30 minutes to climb to the top so make sure if it’s hot you take water. On the top of the hill you’ll find the castle walls but not much else but as you explore you will get great views over the surrounding area making this my favourite Rhodes castle
