Introduction

The Street of the Knights is the most stately stretch of Rhodes Old Town, paved by the Knights Hospitaller in the 14th century, lined with the inns of each tongue of the Order; arcades and heraldic stone carvings keep a pure Gothic feel. The smooth pebble pavement ends at the imposing Grand Master's Palace — the most photogenic medieval frame in the whole town. Walking it is like passing through a corridor to the age of the Crusades.
