The northern quarter of Rhodes has been divided into two parts; one side boasts a metropolitan modern feeling packed with restaurants, boutiques and bars, while the other half is steeped in history and aptly named The Old Town. Here you can casually wander through the cobbled streets, down countless alleyways and admire the medieval architecture; including three windmills which have survived from an original 13.
