I’m starting to plan a visit to Rhodes and keep seeing photos of the medieval Old Town walls, which made me wonder how accessible they actually are. I know the city walls are a major part of Rhodes’ history, but I’m curious about the practical side of visiting them.

Can you actually walk along the city walls, or are they mostly something you admire from below? If walking is possible, are there specific entrances or sections that are open to the public? I’m also wondering how long it takes and whether it feels more like a short stroll or a full, immersive walk.

For those who’ve done it, is it worth prioritizing? Are there good viewpoints from the walls, or parts that stand out more than others? I’d love to hear what the experience is like and whether it’s something you’d recommend fitting into a first visit to Rhodes.

What do you love most about Rhodes?

I’ve been reading about Rhodes lately, and the more I learn, the more it seems like a place that offers a little bit of everything. The island has such an interesting mix of history, beaches, beautiful villages, and great food. The Old Town alone looks incredible, with its medieval streets, stone buildings, and all that history around every corner.

At the same time, people talk a lot about the beaches, the clear water, and places like Lindos with its white houses and views of the acropolis. It seems like Rhodes manages to balance culture, scenery, and relaxation really well.

For those of you who have visited, what stands out the most when you think back on your trip? Was it a specific place, like a beach or village, or more the overall atmosphere of the island?

I’d love to hear what made Rhodes special for you and what left the biggest impression.
