Κυρίως Γραφείο Πόλη της Ρόδου

Rhodes Downtown (Rhodes Town) is a striking architectural mosaic located at the northernmost tip of the island, where the world’s oldest inhabited Medieval City sits directly alongside modern cosmopolitan shopping hubs and sandy city beaches. Renting a car from the downtown district gives you the ultimate freedom to explore both the ancient urban center and the diverse coastal roads extending down the island’s eastern and western shores.

Top Attractions in Rhodes Downtown

• The Palace of the Grand Master: An imposing 14th-century Byzantine fortress dominating the highest point of the Medieval Old Town.
• The Street of the Knights: One of the best-preserved medieval streets in Europe, lined with the historic inns of the Knights Hospitaller.
• Mandraki Harbor: The ancient port where the legendary Colossus of Rhodes once stood, now guarded by iconic deer statues and stone windmills.
• Elli Beach: A sweeping, cosmopolitan sandy-pebble beach at the northern tip, famous for its iconic multi-level concrete diving platform.
• The Acropolis of Rhodes (Monte Smith): Ancient ruins featuring the Temple of Apollo, a restored 2nd-century BC stadium, and an ancient theater.
• The Archaeological Museum: Housed inside the monumental 15th-century Hospital of the Knights, displaying world-class classical sculptures.

Best Day Trips from Rhodes Downtown 

• Lindos Village & Acropolis: Drive 50 kilometers south along the east coast to explore whitewashed houses, donkey paths, and an ancient citadel overlooking a turquoise bay.
• The Valley of the Butterflies (Petaloudes): Head inland to walk along wooden rustic bridges in a lush, shaded canyon filled with millions of Jersey tiger moths (best visited June–September).
• Ancient Kamiros: Travel down the western coast to discover the remarkably preserved layout of an entire classical Hellenistic city overlooking the sea.
• Kallithea Springs: Drive just 15 minutes south to swim in a beautifully restored 1920s Italian-built thermal spa complex featuring mosaic floors and crystal waters.
• Prasonisi Peninsula: Take a long drive to the southernmost tip of Rhodes, where two seas meet over a sandbar, creating a world-famous windsurfing and kitesurfing paradise. 

Scenic Drives from Downtown

The East Coast Beach Highway (Rhodes Town to Lindos)

A smooth, wide, and sun-drenched highway tracing the island’s calm eastern shoreline.

• Highlights: Striking views of the Mediterranean, access to Tsambika Beach, and the dramatic approach to the towering rock of Lindos.

The West Coast Sunset Route (Rhodes Town to Monolithos)

A wilder, windier route along the Aegean side of the island that feels miles away from the main tourist crowds.

• Highlights: Constant sea breezes, coastal pine forests, ancient ruins, and the ultimate cliffside sunset view from Monolithos Castle.

Travel Tips for Driving in Rhodes Downtown

• The Old Town is Strictly Pedestrian-Only: Driving cars inside the medieval castle walls is heavily restricted and forbidden for tourists; park outside the gates.
• Look for Color-Coded Parking Lines: Blue lines indicate paid parking (buy tickets from street kiosks), white lines are free public parking, and yellow lines are strictly for residents.
• Arrive Early at Mandraki Harbor: The free public parking lots surrounding the harbor and the central market fill up completely by 9:00 AM during peak summer months.
• Watch Out for Rent-A-Moto Traffic: Hundreds of tourists on rental scooters and quad bikes navigate the downtown roundabouts; check your blind spots constantly.
• Mind the Strict One-Way Network: Downtown Rhodes features complex, narrow one-way systems designed around historic layouts; rely on updated GPS navigation to avoid illegal turns.
