Rhodes is an intoxicating mix of the old and the new. In addition to being a sought-after beach destination, Rhodes’ UNESCO-listed Old Town has fascinating historical landmarks worth visiting. Stroll down the nearby Street of the Knights before entering the magnificent Palace of the Grand Master of the Knights of Rhodes, which today houses the island’s history museum. Afterwards, see Mandraki Harbour’s entrance, once guarded by the Colossus of Rhodes, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Two deer statues named Elafos and Elafina now welcome mariners, where Colossus’ feet once stood. Petaloudes, or Butterfly Valley, is best experienced in August when the Panaxia specie flock to the valley to mate. On Rhodes’ attractive coastline, modern beach resorts are interspersed with traditional local establishments, all worshipping the Aegean Sea.
