Follow your guide inside the medieval walls of Rhodes’ old town and walk down the famous Street of the Knights. Visiting the 14th century Palace of the Grand Master, catch a glimpse of the staterooms and their Hellenistic and Roman mosaics before enjoying a little free time for souvenir shopping in town.
