The lantern-lit alleys of Rhodes Old Town tighten around you as the sun slides behind the colonnades and the night eases in. You move under stone arches, the guide’s voice delivered through a headset so the cadence of history isn’t lost to nearby chatter. Later, a family-run taverna pours a welcome drink and plates of meze arrive — sharp feta, lemony octopus, warm bread — before a short harbor stroll and a half-hour starlit cruise across the bay.
