Local Tip from Looneytravels

If you’re staying in north Rhodes, one of my favourite evening activities is visiting Rhodes Old Town after sunset.

During the day it can be busy with cruise visitors, but at night the medieval streets become quieter, restaurants light candles in the courtyards, and the atmosphere becomes magical.

It’s one of the best ways to experience the history of Rhodes while enjoying a relaxed dinner.
