7 Ancient Ruins in Rhodes Town 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.

Yesterday we visited Rhodes town and walked the walls. Luckily it was not a hot day today. We were told the walk would take 20minutes, which it might. But for us it took longer as it was very interesting we kept stopping to look at the views and the defensive structure. It was well worth the effort. It also leads you into a less touristy part of the town too. Which was also good to see.

We were so surprised to find very little information about this site. It is truly amazing and well worth a visit. We got a taxi up to the Acropolis and spent a little over an hour exploring the site. Our kids (aged 7 & 10) loved it as well. The stadium in particular is fabulous. We then slowly walked back down to our hotel stopping en-route for refreshments. It was a lovely way to spend a morning.

In my opinion the old Stadium is one of the best thing in Rhodes city till now. It’s about 200m long track that I think was used for chariot races,fights and other games. The stadium is about 27min walk from the central bus station. You would think it’s only archeaogical site but the place is much more than a site in fact it’s like a small community where people use it as place to relax where they drink coffee, talk to each other, have fun, even Training some people run around for 5 rounds or more. There daily training. It’s in a nice location surrounded with trees and on a hill there is a very refreshing breeze. Worth going to even if you don’t stay in Rhodes city.
