Small shops lined the narrow streets, shopkeepers waiting for the tourists to arrive from the ship to buy their wares. There were 2500 passengers on board and their presence ashore was significant. These shops need the tourists and look forward to selling them bargains.
Rhodes was a stop over for the Knights Templar. They built houses here, also hospitals and churches. The Knights Templar would stay here to refresh themselves during the crusades. Their street can be seen in one of my photos. Today these houses are the homes of foreign government embassies and local government offices.
Contrast can be seen between the old and the new everywhere.
