The 8 Best Museums in Rhodes Town, South Aegean
The largest of the twelve Dodecanese islands on the Aegean's eastern edge, Rhodes is also its most popular. The well-preserved medieval city of Rhodes sits at the north of the island of the same name. High rise hotels line the northern and eastern coastlines. Small villages and resorts dot the island's other shores. Whether your interests are beaches, bars or ancient sites, Rhodes offers an abundance of all three. Authentic Greece can be found in the hilly interior of the 50-mile long island.

Spyros is an incredibly enthusiastic, kind and proud owner of his collection of antiquities, geological stones and minerals and artifacts depicting Greek mythology and Greek gods! The paintings on the ceilings we found especially beautiful! Spyros gave us a personal and enthusiastic tour and told us about his findings with a lot of wit. We would definitely recommend going here! It is a good way to see a broad spectrum historical Greek treasures!

A little magic is there hidden in every item in this beautiful small store. I really liked pieces of pottery made by Koralia - especially the figurines of women (unfortunately I did not have time to come back and buy 2 - I needed a pair - before leaving Rhodes - could you possibly offer selling online and shipping in Europe?). I really admire the fact that the seller knew everything about the designers and the pieces of art they create. It seems that there is a kind of a relation - a friendship - between the owners of the store/the gallery and the artists. And this is the way the magic in selling the art is created.

Hospital of the Knights of St. John (Nossokomío lpotón) is one of the most interesting buildings of the old town and one of the jewels of Rhodes .Situated in the heart of the Medieval Town, Rhodes, next to the famous Street of the Knights, the Archaeological Museum of Rhodes (Hospital of the Knights) is a must visit attraction. Not only can you see a host of archaeological treasures and a real sense of 'the old Rhodes' but it offers plenty of shaded areas, perfect if you are visiting at a hotter time of year.

I ahev visisted the museum many times since I come to Rodhes every year and I also came across some of the major representatives of this Jewish community. The museum tells you a lot about the life on the island before the Olocaust and also you can find a memorial in the courtyard to rmember all the many, too many, people taken away by the nazis. The visit is touching and culturally significand. If you go in summertime and you are lucky you could be welcomed by Sami Modiano in person who is always ready and pleased to introduce you to the tour of the Sinagoge and museum; this is a person worth meeting in life as he is also one of the few survivors from Auschwitz-Birkenau camp. They normally hold a commemoration every July.

For a small charge, this Synagogue provides entrée into the remarkable life stories of the Jewish people of Rhodes. The interior of the Synagogue is beautiful with its pebbled floor and light filled interior. It provides a calm and contemplative space to reflect on the generations of Jewish life revealed in the adjacent museum.
