Reiseführer Rhodos

Transport yourself back to the year 1522: Circumvent the city walls of Rhodes Town through the eyes of an Ottoman invader and then ascend the very same walls at the Grand Master's Palace to become a knight of the Order of St. John. The section you are allowed to enter is particularly fitting for us German speakers: Defending it was the task of the knights of the German tongue and their aides. Look out over the sea from the city walls: What must it have looked like when the Turkish fleet appeared on the horizon?

The crisis that has been weighing down Greece since 2010 is particularly evident in the major cities. As a result, more and more younger people are returning to their villages to try to earn a living there. Why not stop by Angeline and Chris in Asklípio? Here, you can experience the unspoiled nature of Rhodes on the back of a donkey - the new Baedeker Rhodes reveals the most charming tours! For the adventurous, there is even an option for an overnight stay - in tents right in the great outdoors.

Antiquity by moonlight - not necessarily obvious, but rather magical moments are the focus of the new Baedeker: In the evenings, the tourist crowds have disappeared from the streets of Líndos, restaurants open their doors and serve fine cuisine on rooftop terraces with views of the Acropolis. The rock and walls of the Knights' fortress are illuminated, and above them, the capitals of the columns from the Temple of Athena look down. The moon bathes the sea in a magical light - and there is not a car to be heard for miles around.
