Rhodes combines UNESCO-listed medieval heritage with ancient Greek archaeology and unique natural landscapes. The island's core is the walled Old Town, featuring the Street of the Knights and the Palace of the Grand Master. Coastal highlights include the Acropolis of Lindos and the thermal springs of Kallithea. Inland, sites like the Valley of the Butterflies and Seven Springs offer wooded ecosystems, while the ancient ruins of Kamiros and the Acropolis of Rhodes showcase the island's classical history.
