Things to Do in Rhodes

1. Start your day by exploring Rhodes Old Town. A good place to start is the majestic Ippoton Street, or Avenue of the Knights, one of the world's best-preserved medieval streets. This picturesque, cobbled walkway is home to several imposing Inns of the crusading Order of the Knights of St John.
2. Your next stop is the Palace of the Grand Masters. This impressive building was constructed in the early 14^th century and now serves as the Byzantine Museum. It houses a magnificent collection of Byzantine artefacts such as frescoes and icons.
3. In the lower part of the old town lies the Turkish quarter, or the Burgo. Here, you will find some fine examples of Ottoman architecture, including the Mosque of Suleiman the Magnificent and the Turkish baths.
4. For stunning views of the city, a climb to the top of Roloi Clock Tower is an absolute must-do.
5. When it comes to beaches, Rhodes offers a vast array of beautiful bathing spots. With its golden sand and emerald sea, Lindos is a top choice for a relaxing day at the beach. 
6. While in Lindos, make sure that you visit its famous Acropolis. One of the best-known ancient sites in Greece, this landmark dates back to the 4^th century BC. Dedicated to Athena, it boasts an awe-inspiring Doric temple dedicated to the goddess. In order to avoid the steep climb, you can hire a donkey in the town.
7. Visit Petaloudes, or the Valley of the Butterflies. Situated on the western side of the island, this beautiful nature reserve is the site of the only natural forest of oriental sweetgum trees in Europe. During August, thousands of butterflies of the genus Panaxia (species Quadripunctaria Poda) overwhelm the valley to reproduce.
8. Pay a visit to Kallithea Thermal Springs, splendid thermal baths built by the Italians at the start of the 20th century. The cinematic atmosphere of the baths is amplified by their Arabesque-inspired architecture, as well as their grand staircases and intricate mosaics.
9. Take a break from the hot weather, by making your way to the Valley of the Seven Springs. One of the island's most charming tourist destinations, this picturesque valley is where seven springs meet to create a tranquil lake.
10. Head to the south-west of the island for Prasonissi (Leek Island), where the Aegean Sea and Mediterranean Sea meet. Due to strong winds, this is a popular place for windsurfing and kitesurfing.
