Rhodes Clock Tower

| No Comments | No TrackBacks

When I visited Rhodes at the start of August, I visited the clock tower. The clock tower in Rhodes Old Town is known as Roloi, and it is a medieval building erected on the tallest part of the old town, which dates from the medieval time. The city is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Visitors can pay a small fee to climb up the clock tower to see views, and this fee also allows visitors to receive a free drink at the bar (located at the bottom of the clock tower).

I first went inside the clock tower and climbed steep stairs to the different levels in order to see the view.

I could see the old city walls and the sea.

After visiting the tower, I headed to the bar area at the bottom where I claimed my drink. The drink was included in the tower entrance fee, and visitors can have an alcoholic or non-alcoholic drink.

I had a glass of wine and enjoyed the views. There is a nice seating area here with shade, allowing visitors some quiet from the busy streets outside.
