Morning light slices across Mandraki Harbor as the tour assembles by the two deer statues — the starting point for a three‑hour walk through Rhodes’ layered past. The sea smells faintly of pine resin and salt; the cobbles already warm underfoot. Your guide sets the pace, and the Old Town opens like a city‑scale museum: stone alleys, crenellated walls, and doorways that still hold the geometry of power.
