Evreon Martyron (Jewish Martyrs Square): Self-Guided Audio Tours

During your visit to Rhodes, save some time for a deep dive into the island's history and book online tickets for the Palace of the Grand Master of the Knights of Rhodes. According to some legends, the palace was built over the remaining foundations of a temple dedicated to god Helios, and it was probably the same spot where the Colossus of Rhodes, one of the ancient world's seven wonders, once stood. The Palace is today one of the very rare examples of Gothic-style architecture in Greece, and thanks to its unique setting by the sea it makes for one of the must-see cultural visits during your Mediterranean escape.

Lindos is perhaps one of the most ancient castles in the world and one of the important archaeological sites in all of Greece.

Peer up close at magnificent Byzantine ruins and don't miss a trip up to the Doric Temple of Athena Lindia, which dates back to 300 BC. Remember to pack a hat and some water - there is no shade at the top!

It is ideal for first-time visitors, history lovers, and travelers who want to understand how the city’s Sephardic Jewish community lived, worshipped, and endured profound loss. The route starts at the Palace of the Grand Master of the Knights of Rhodes and leads into the Street of the Knights and the Archaeological Museum of Rhodes, where the setting of knightly and medieval Rhodes comes into focus. From there, the walk enters La Juderia, the old Jewish Quarter, and continues to Jewish Martyrs' Square, Kahal Kadosh Synagogue, and the Jewish Museum of Rhodes. The final stretch passes through the quieter lanes of the quarter, including Solomou Alchadef Street. Along the way, you will follow the shift from grand stone fortifications to intimate neighborhood streets, discover Kahal Kadosh Shalom, the oldest synagogue in Greece still standing, and encounter the memorial at Jewish Martyrs' Square, honoring the Jews of Rhodes deported in 1944. The most memorable moments are the contrast between the power of the Knights and the humanity of La Juderia, the preserved Sephardic heritage, and the quiet emotional weight carried by these streets.
