This is why the island has become a must-visit for the travel-freaks from all around the world. Top five Rhodes travel destinations that work as magnet for the business and leisure tourists from all over the world are:
Archeological Museum
During holidays, many people opt out visiting museums as these places little ignite their travelling spree. But archeological museums are altogether different places in essence and much differ from the regular museums. The archeological museum of Rhodes is so very special with its metal objects and jewelries bearing the glorious signs of the medieval age, the mosaic floors and vases, and the funerary slabs that it would be an incomplete Rhodes tour without visiting this museum. Turning over the pages of history, the museum was built during 1440 to 1489. The elegantly colossal structure contains Roman and Hellenistic sculptures to attract the visitors.
Palace of the Grand Master
Palace of the Grand Master can be undoubtedly placed among the top five Rhodes travel destinations. The valorous Knights from Jerusalem built the structure in seventh century AD. The Turkish invaders occupied the island in 1856 and the several parts of the palace got miserably damaged during this invasion. The palace was restored in various strings in between 1937 and 1940. The noted Italian architect Vittorio played a pivotal role in reconstruction of the same.
Medieval Town

The Medieval Town can help you get back to ancient times when the glam and glory of the town reached its highest point. The town encompasses a two-part fort which itself is one of the much sought-after Rhodes attractions.

Street of the Knights

The seven inns studded on the long and historic rode actually stand for the seven countries from where the seven knights hailed. The palace of the grand master elevates the significance and essence of this historic place to an altogether different stratum.
