Archaeological Museum of Rhodes Tours and Activities

This archaeological museum showcases priceless objects excavated during digs on the island of Rhodes. Housed in an imposing medieval hospital built by the Knights of St. John, the collection encompasses everything from ceramics and marble statues to mosaics and funeral urns.
The Basics
Some tours of Rhodes Old Town combine a guided visit of the Archaeological Museum with other key sights such as the Palace of the Grand Master of the Knights of Rhodes, and the Street of the Knights (Odos Ippoton). Alternatively, purchase a cost-effective combo ticket for access to the Archaeological Museum of Rhodes, the Palace of the Grand Master, the Decorative Arts Collection, and Our Lady of the Castle church.
Things to Know Before You Go
- The Archaeological Museum is a must for travelers with an interest in ancient history; admission tickets for the Archaeological Museum of Rhodes can be purchased on the day.
- Children are welcome at the museum though the exhibits are more adult-oriented.
- Information panels are in both Greek and English, making independent exploration of the museum a breeze.
- There are restrooms at the museum.
How to Get There
The Archaeological Museum of Rhodes is situated within Rhodes Old Town, just off the Street of the Knights. Walking from Mandraki Harbour takes around 10 minutes.
When to Get There
The museum is open daily from April through October, and from Wednesday-Monday, during the months between November and March. The best time to visit is between April and October, as certain collections—including the epigraphic and prehistoric exhibitions, and a small display of pithoi (Greek containers)—are only open in summer. Come in the middle of the day to escape the heat.
Rhodes Old Town
Surrounded by 14th-century walls, the UNESCO-listed Rhodes Old Town is a fascinating place to explore. The remnants of the ancient Temple of Aphrodite sit in Simis Square, though most of the star attractions date back to the Middle Ages, when the Knights of St. John took control of the island. Stroll down the atmospheric Street of the Knights (Odos Ippoton) and explore the magnificent Palace of the Grand Master of the Knights of Rhodes.
