What to do and see in Rhodes, South Aegean: The Best Sights & Landmarks
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.

Wow, such a spectacle from when you 1st see the castle walls on the approach be it land or sea. You need good shoes to negotiate the steep hill side and narrow streets, and there are many paths up to the acropolis. A short Que and 12 euro and you enter the walls. more steep steps and uneven ground all the way to the top. Lots of information boards to explain the huge history of the place, fantastic wonderment of how they built and lived in this amazing fort and then the views OMG Take your time on the walk up (and down) lazily wander around the ruins and soak up the drama. Fantastic.

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!
7. The Church of the Panagia

We really didn't get on with Lindos; parking atrocious, too crowded and difficult to navigate. Fortunately we found what we were looking for more by luck and suddenly spotting the bell tower. It costs €2, you won't be allowed to take pictures and both men and women will need to cover bare legs and shoulders (coverings provided) but it's well worth it if you like churches. It's also nice and cool inside. The main building is completely covered in frescoes of bible stories with a "doom" picture at the back representing the day of judgement.There is a small exhibition of religious artifacts in a side chapel. It's all kept in good condition and very atmospheric with Greek orthodox church music playing. Probably the best €2 you'll spend on the island!

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.
