Rhodes
The largest island of the Dodecanese, Rhodes was the headquarters of the crusader Knights of St. John before defeat by the Ottoman Turks.
Within the capital's massive citadel walls, the medieval Old Town presents a hive of narrow cobbled streets, dominated by the Avenue of the Knights and imposing Palace of the Grand Masters. More modern distractions await in the bustling New Town - while nearby is picturesque Lindos, clustered below a hilltop acropolis and Crusader castle.
