Rhodes: Self-Guided Audio Walk Through the Jewish Quarter

This self-guided walking audio tour explores the Jewish history of Rhodes inside the medieval Old Town. It is ideal for first-time visitors, history lovers, and travelers who want to understand how the city’s Sephardic Jewish community lived, worshipped, and endured profound loss.

The route starts at the Palace of the Grand Master of the Knights of Rhodes and leads into the Street of the Knights and the Archaeological Museum of Rhodes, where the setting of knightly and medieval Rhodes comes into focus. From there, the walk enters La Juderia, the old Jewish Quarter, and continues to Jewish Martyrs' Square, Kahal Kadosh Synagogue, and the Jewish Museum of Rhodes. The final stretch passes through the quieter lanes of the quarter, including Solomou Alchadef Street.

Along the way, you will follow the shift from grand stone fortifications to intimate neighborhood streets, discover Kahal Kadosh Shalom, the oldest synagogue in Greece still standing, and encounter the memorial at Jewish Martyrs' Square, honoring the Jews of Rhodes deported in 1944. The most memorable moments are the contrast between the power of the Knights and the humanity of La Juderia, the preserved Sephardic heritage, and the quiet emotional weight carried by these streets.
