Rhodes sits on the northeastern coast of Rhodes Island in Greece’s southeastern Aegean, where the island faces the Turkish coast across the sea. Its UNESCO-listed Medieval Town is enclosed by formidable fortifications built and strengthened under the Knights Hospitaller, who ruled Rhodes from 1309 to 1522. The Palace of the Grand Master anchors this walled quarter, whose streets also preserve Ottoman-era mosques and the historic Jewish Quarter. Mandraki Harbour remains a focal point between the medieval city and the modern centre. Continue with other webcams from the area to see how this part of the Aegean connects regionally.
