Fun in the sun while on holiday in Rhodes Town on the north point of the island centres on the UNESCO World Heritage-listed walled medieval city that clusters around the ancient harbour of Mandraki. This ancient labyrinth of narrow streets and alleyways constitutes a tourist's paradise, with all the required trappings for a good time, including an art gallery and several museums.Rhodes Town is a wonderful resort area for those interested in history and archaeology as it holds treasures from ancient Greece as well as remnants of the Byzantine legacy. The Turkish occupation of Rhodes is commemorated with a Venetian-styled Byzantine mosque, the Mosque of Suleiman, and the popular and well-used Turkish baths, in a 7th-century Byzantine building.The sprawling new town houses most of the travel agents, bars, discos, nightclubs, and numerous tavernas, and is best explored at night. The long stretch of beach in Rhodes Town is popular during the day with holidaymakers and has deckchairs, umbrellas and showers available.
