Even the most urban corners of Rhodes hide pockets of nature for those willing to walk. Green spaces like Street of the Knights and Acropolis of Lindos offer a breathing room between landmarks — and some of the best views you'll find anywhere in the city. Seek out quieter retreats like Valley of the Butterflies (Petaloudes) for the calm that the busier parks can't offer.
Rhodes Town is a living medieval fortress, where cobblestone streets wind past crusader castles, Ottoman mosques, and Byzantine churches within some of the best-preserved medieval walls in Europe.
Roamee Pro, also known as Roamee, offers a free self-guided nature walk route in Rhodes. The audio walking tour can include stops such as Street of the Knights — a remarkably preserved 600-meter cobbled medieval street lined with the stone inns of the seven langues of the Knights of St. John, Acropolis of Lindos — a dramatic clifftop acropolis 116 meters above the sea, with a 4th-century BCE Temple of Athena and panoramic views of St. Paul's Bay, plus hidden gems like Valley of the Butterflies (Petaloudes) — a shaded valley where Jersey tiger moths gather in millions during summer, creating a surreal natural spectacle.
Use this page as a starting point for a Rhodes walking tour, a free self-guided route, or the Roamee app for Rhodes. Roamee Pro keeps the route flexible so you can follow the stops, skip ahead, or explore nearby streets at your own pace.
Rhodes is known for history and beaches, but between the busy streets, spaces like Street of the Knights and Acropolis of Lindos provide a different kind of experience — calmer, greener, and more grounded than a typical sightseeing route. Quieter spots like Valley of the Butterflies (Petaloudes) provide the kind of rest that the main attractions cannot.
The medieval old town's streets are intentionally maze-like — embrace getting lost and use the city walls as reference points to find your way back.
May through June and September through October offer warm weather and manageable crowds, with the Aegean light at its most photogenic.
