Spyros is an incredibly enthusiastic, kind and proud owner of his collection of antiquities, geological stones and minerals and artifacts depicting Greek mythology and Greek gods! The paintings on the ceilings we found especially beautiful! Spyros gave us a personal and enthusiastic tour and told us about his findings with a lot of wit. We would definitely recommend going here! It is a good way to see a broad spectrum historical Greek treasures!

Hospital of the Knights of St. John (Nossokomío lpotón) is one of the most interesting buildings of the old town and one of the jewels of Rhodes .Situated in the heart of the Medieval Town, Rhodes, next to the famous Street of the Knights, the Archaeological Museum of Rhodes (Hospital of the Knights) is a must visit attraction.

The Traditional House of Kalymnos is a privately held folk museum, founded by Mrs. Scylla - Chalkidiou. The aim of the museum is to preserve and promote the Kalymnian lifestyle of the past century. It is located on the southern outskirts of Agioi Pantes Monastery, in the area Vothynoi, and includes objects of folk culture and old household furniture. The museum is actually a restored traditional house in which you will find artifacts collected from across the island. They are exposed in a way that helps revive the story of a traditional urban house of the late 19th and early 20th century. Here you will travel back in time, by observing the main daily activities, the social events and of course the legendary life of the Kalymnian sponge catcher! In this lovely home you will see, among others, traditional costumes, everyday utilitarian objects and representations of household activities and tasks.

For a small charge, this Synagogue provides entrée into the remarkable life stories of the Jewish people of Rhodes. The interior of the Synagogue is beautiful with its pebbled floor and light filled interior. It provides a calm and contemplative space to reflect on the generations of Jewish life revealed in the adjacent museum.

If you get the chance to see the old museum go... they have a short video on the old town and if you can spare the time it’s very worth watching...it shows the island before the war and talks about all this little land has been through..very inspiring and heartfelt to watch.
