Rhodos offers crystal-clear waters, isolated coves and fantastic beaches. Remarkable monuments are all over the island. The 'Old City' as the locals know it, is surrounded by a medieval wall. Inside, cobbled streets lead to the Italian Palace of the Grand Masters, which was built as a weekend-house for Italian dictator, Mussolini. Few metres from the Palace is Socrates Street, the main shopping street in the old city. Rhodos offers you many restaurants with every kind of Greek food possible, from Souvlaki, Greek Salad to Calamari. About one hour drive to the west from The old city is Lindos, a picturesque little whitewashed village. View to the Aegean Sea from inside the walls is breathtaking!
