Rhodes Travel Guide: Medieval Walls, Lindos, and the Aegean Coast

Short answer: Rhodes is the leading destination of the Dodecanese, offering history, sea, and nature all on one island, featuring the Medieval city and Palace of the Grand Master, the Acropolis of Lindos, the beaches of Tsambika and Prasonisi, the Valley of the Butterflies, and Kallithea.

Since the island is quite large, a car or tour plan covering the center, Lindos, and the southern beaches is recommended for most travelers.
