The Medieval City of Rhodes is one of the best-preserved medieval towns in Europe. The city has been famous since antiquity as this is the site of the Colossus of Rhodes, one of the Seven Wonders of the World.

The medieval city of Rhodes is located on the northeastern tip of the island of Rhodes in Greece. It is on the southeastern part of the Aegean Sea. Today it has many interesting heritage sites such as the Grand Master's Palace, Mosque of Suleiman the Magnificent, the Rhodes Windmills, and the Acropolis of Rhodes.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.

To get to know me better, do follow me on Facebook!
