Ancient Rhodes

The Old Town of Rhode – Monte Smith

The Old Town of Rhodes – A Journey Through Time

The Old Town of Rhodes is one of the best-preserved medieval towns in the world and a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site. Walking through its cobbled streets feels like stepping back in time, to the era of the Knights of Saint John.

Surrounded by massive stone walls stretching over 4 kilometers, the Old Town encloses a vibrant maze of palaces, alleys, shops, taverns, and churches.

The highlight is the Palace of the Grand Master, one of Europe’s most impressive medieval buildings, featuring grand halls, mosaic floors, and historical exhibitions.

Strolling down the Street of the Knights, the most famous medieval street, you’ll see the Inns of the Tongues — the lodgings of knights from various nations — a place steeped in history and medieval charm.

But the Old Town isn’t just a monument — it’s a living, breathing neighborhood where locals still live, work, and carry on their daily lives. It uniquely blends ancient atmosphere with modern rhythm, making every visit a truly unforgettable experience.

Monte Smith – The Hill of Ancient Rhodes with Breathtaking Views

Monte Smith is a historic hill on the western side of Rhodes Town, offering sweeping views over the Aegean Sea, the harbor, and the city below. It’s named after British Admiral Sir William Sidney Smith, who used it as a lookout point in the 19th century. But its roots go far deeper — into ancient history.

In classical antiquity, this hill was home to the Acropolis of Rhodes, the spiritual and cultural center of the ancient city. Today, visitors can explore:

🏛 The Temple of Pythian Apollo, dedicated to the god of music, light, and prophecy – a fine example of Doric architecture.
🏟 The Ancient Stadium, where athletic games were held, and the Odeon, used for music and speech performances.
🌿 Surrounded by greenery, the area is perfect for a peaceful walk, a relaxing break, or capturing panoramic photos — especially in the early morning or at sunset.

Monte Smith is a unique blend of natural beauty, ancient heritage, and tranquility — just a few minutes away from the vibrant heart of Rhodes.
