The Street of The Knights is a historical location in the Old Town of Rhodes. Also known as Odos Ippoton in Greek, the well-preserved buildings along the 600-meter-long medieval street guarantee a time-bending trip through the history of the island. It is recognized as one of the most intact medieval streets in the world and is one of the most popular places to go for a stroll in the Old Town.

The stone-paved street replaced an ancient road that connected the town to the Acropolis of Rhodes. It was once home to the Knights of Saint John, who occupied Rhodes during the Middle Ages. You will find the street’s starting point at the Hospital of the Knights and walking along, you will end up at the Palace of the Grand Master. Various organized tours include a walk on this street and combine it with a visit to various monuments that can be found in this part of the town.

The buildings along the street include inns dating to the 15th and 16th centuries. Some buildings are constructed from finely chiseled sandstone, while others are adorned with intricate carvings or commemorative plaques. A double archway spans the road at its highest point, while elegant doorways wide enough to accommodate a horse and carriage are found throughout.
