When to go to Rhodes?
The Knights of St John left Rhodes a walled medieval town people still live in, a warren of cobbles, arches and courtyards below the Palace of the Grand Masters. Down the coast, Lindos stacks white houses beneath an acropolis on a headland above two bays. Anthony Quinn Bay keeps its clear water and pine-backed rocks for anyone willing to swim off stones.
