Palace of the Grandmaster in Rhodes Town

If you’re in the market for a Greek island cruise then you will be pleasantly surprised that Rhodes is one of the main attractions on most cruise ships itineraries. Normally you will find that you visit Athens, Crete, Kos, Santorini and Mykonos and of course Rhodes Town.

When docking in Rhodes town you will have the opportunity to explore this historic town and see everything it has to offer. Starting at Mandraki harbour you are just minutes away from the traditional Old Town of Rhodes, divided into 3 parts you will find the Turkish, Jewish and Knights quarter. The quarters are all unique in their own right and represent the chequered and colourful past of the island.

Enter through St Catherine’s gate and into the Knights quarter where you will find the palace of the Grand Master, which is now a museum holding fantastic collections of gold, excavated artefacts and frescos. You will also find the hospital of St John which again is another museum but well worth a look.

Grab a guidebook for exploring the Old Town or just get lost on the winding alleyways full of amazing architecture and small local cafes and bakers. Make sure you know how to get back though you don’t want the ship leaving without you.
