End with a wine tasting and meze-style dinner that suits a couple on a budget.
Good to Know
Old Town at the right pace
Rhodes Old Town is best enjoyed in short, walkable blocks because the prettiest moments are often side streets, courtyards, and small squares rather than a checklist of major sights.
Use the evening rhythm
Dinner in Rhodes is often later than in many places, so an early evening wine tasting or a longer beach stop can fit naturally before a relaxed meal.
