What it's like
Rodini Park is one of the oldest parks in the world, set inside Rhodes town. It has grown dense with vegetation over the years, and its ancient bridges give it an older, quieter feel than the streets around it.
A visit is a slow walk under the trees, with peacocks moving freely along the paths. It makes a calm stop between sights in the old town, and the park is close enough to walk to from the center.
Good to know
- Peacocks roam freely, so keep food put away and give them room.
- Moths are scarce here, so the wildlife sightings are mostly peacocks and birds.
- Deer are only a possible sighting, not a sure one.
