For those of you that are traveling to Turkey from Greece using the ferry or vice versa, you are in luck! The ferry services are being re introduced which is great news especially for those that are traveling on a budget. The ferries were close down because of covid and have been closed for some time. Every Friday and Sunday there is a 45 minute boat ride from Fethiye, Turkey to Rhodes. This is such a quick trip and will definitely be cheaper than taking most flights! Has anyone taken this route? Unfortunately I have not and cannot provide tips from personal experience.
 
The ferries were not closed due to COVID. Political reasons were why & the services stopped before COVID. I am not sure if they restart this year.

This was the article I found in writing this post... I assumed there was some political influence but I wasn't sure... thanks

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?
