That's so sad to hear. I think she did a really good job in representing Rhodes in this video, I hope she is well soon
 
Rhodes is such a fascinating place. This video does a great job of giving an overview! There is the Medieval side of things, but also the ancient side at Lindos. So much history here.

Tips for Exploring the Ancient City of Kamiros

I might go to Rhodes and would really like to visit the Ancient City of Kamiros while I’m there. I love exploring archaeological sites, and from the photos and information I’ve seen, Kamiros looks fascinating. I’m especially interested in seeing the layout of the ancient city and learning more about what daily life would have been like there.

For those who have visited, do you have any tips for making the most of the experience? How much time would you recommend allowing to explore the site without feeling rushed? Is there enough information posted around the ruins, or would it be helpful to read about the history beforehand or bring a guidebook?

I’d also love to know about practical details, such as the best time of day to visit, how much walking is involved, and whether there are any other nearby places worth combining with Kamiros on the same day.

What Should I Visit in Rhodes Old Town?

I'm thinking about visiting Rhodes in May of next year, and one of the places I'm most excited about exploring is Rhodes Old Town. I've seen photos of the medieval streets, historic buildings, and charming little shops, and it looks like such an interesting place to spend some time.

I know that the Palace of the Grand Master and the Street of the Knights are two of the main attractions, and I'd definitely like to see both. However, I'm also interested in discovering some of the lesser-known places that might be easy to overlook.

For those who have visited, what would you recommend seeing in Rhodes Old Town? Are there particular streets, historical sites, churches, shops, or restaurants that are worth seeking out?

I'm also curious how much time I should set aside. Is one full day enough to explore, or would you recommend spending more time there?

What Part of Rhodes Feels Most “Local”?

I might be visiting friends in Rhodes this summer, and I’m trying to figure out which parts of the island feel the most local and authentic versus heavily touristy.

Don’t get me wrong, I’ll definitely check out the major spots and beaches, but I usually enjoy the places where you can actually slow down a little, grab a coffee, sit at a taverna, and get more of a feel for everyday life on the island.

My friends have mentioned that Rhodes has very different vibes depending on where you are, especially once you get away from the main tourist areas.

So I’m curious what people here would recommend. Are there any places that really capture the atmosphere of the island beyond the typical tourist experience?
