Vincent Poon :: Rhodes Old City

If you find this tourist information centre, then you have found the starting point of the Street of the Knights
Odos Ippotón, the Street of the Knights, lies along a section of ancient road that led all the way down to the harbour. It was here that the Knights would muster in times of attack.
