The walled citadel of Rhodes is one of the best preserved Medieval towns in Europe, as well the oldest continuously inhabited one. In 1988 it was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
To enter these walls through one of the gates is entering another world... where spirits of the Knights, of its Ottoman past and the Jewish heritage coexist alongside the modern, vibrant present which has made this fascinating labyrinth of alleys and little squares a mesmerizing world one has to experience so as to believe it. And the only way is... getting "lost" in these narrow alleys where times seems to stand still.

Hehe Nancy, it would be gorgeous, wouldn't it? I actually LIVED in the Old Town twice: one time I stayed at a very charming little pension, and another time I rented a room at an inn for a month (then I moved out because it was crazy hot)! It can actually get very hot inside these walls in the summer, but sure it is SO charming!!!
Lots of foreigners have chosen to make their homes in The Old Town!
