Seaport of Rhodes (Greece)
Passing through the gates of the Old City, you get from the noisy port into the narrow lanes of the Middle Ages. It seems that time has stood still here. Especially in the morning and evening hours when there are very few people. And besides, in the evening, the illumination of the city creates a special atmosphere in it. Ancient winding streets, many of which do not even have names, small squares with fountains, the street of the knights, the Palace of the Grand Masters - most of the buildings and cobbled streets have been perfectly preserved from the time they were built.
