The crusading Knights of St. John left the magnificent medieval castle behind when they were defeated by Sultan Suleman the Magnificent. Turkey occupied Rhodes for almost 400 years leaving mosques, minarets and a Turkish bath to mark their presence.

Outside the medieval walls is the Mandraki where you can enjoy lunch, dinner or coffee by the port lined with gorgeous yachts and people watch! Rhodes is also known for its beautiful beaches and turquoise sea! .
