About Rhodes
Rhodes is the largest of the Dodecanese islands and one of the most historically rich destinations in the Mediterranean. The UNESCO-listed Medieval Old Town — the best-preserved medieval city in Europe — is a living museum of Crusader castles, Ottoman mosques, and Byzantine churches enclosed within massive fortification walls. Beyond the history, Rhodes offers excellent beaches, a vibrant modern town, and the dramatic clifftop acropolis of Lindos. For yacht charter guests, Rhodes serves as the perfect base for exploring the Dodecanese — from here you can sail to the pastel-coloured harbour of Symi, the sacred island of Patmos, or the volcanic shores of Nisyros.
