Rhodes Clock Tower
Ρολόι
A clock tower at the highest point of the Old Town. From the top you get a 360-degree view of the rooftops, mosques and harbour, and the ticket includes a drink.
The Clock Tower (Roloi) was built atop a 7th-century Byzantine city wall and was rebuilt as a clock tower by the Ottomans in 1851. It is the tallest building in the Old Town of Rhodes. Climb the narrow wooden staircase to the top for a 360-degree view of the red-tiled roofs, the dome of the Suleiman Mosque, the Palace of the Grand Master and Mandraki Harbour. It is the best vantage point for panoramic photos of the Old Town. The tower is privately operated, and tickets cost around 5 euros and usually include a drink at the café below (confirm on site). The staircase is steep and narrow, so it is not suitable for people with limited mobility. The tower stands beside the Suleiman Mosque and can be visited together with it.
