⚔️ Running from the Palace of the Grand Master down to the Hospital of the Knights, the Street of the Knights is perhaps the most famous road on the island.

Lined with stone buildings, Gothic arches and old lamps, the cobblestone street houses seven inns, one for each of the seven ‘tongues’ that made up the Order of the Knights of St John – England, France, Germany, Italy, Aragon, Auvergne and Provence.

Each inn can be identified by its coat of arms as you walk along the street, imagining knights congregating here in times past.

We’re so proud of our Rhodes culture, heritage and traditions tours. On the way to Eleousa and past the 7 Springs, there’s the Monastery of Saint Nektarios of Kryoneri, a beautiful church with a lovely surrounding area.

Of characteristic beauty is the magnificent fountain at the central entrance with its multiple hydrants, from which plenty of fresh, cool drinking water flows, originating from the natural springs of Mount "Mesovouno".

Here you will also find a great hidden and unique photo spot ;)

✨ Time for some Greek honey Christmas cookies! Try the amazing recipe below and bring a taste of Rhodes to your home!

Merry Christmas and happy holidays to everyone! 🎄

🍯 The kitchen smells of cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg and sweet honey. We’re getting closer to Christmas and it’s that time of the year when we start baking the Greek traditional Christmas cookies. Our favorites are Melomakarona of course! Try our recipe and enjoy a bit of Greek Christmas with your family too.

Ingredients

2 cups olive oil (or vegetable oil

1 cup sugar

1/2 cup cognac

1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice

7.5 cups all purpose flour (approx. 1 kg)

2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp baking soda (diluted in the orange juice)

1 tsp cinnamon powder (or cinnamon and clove)

100g walnuts, finely chopped for the garnish (mixed with some cinnamon)

For the syrup

2 cups water

2 cups sugar

2 cups honey

Method

1.Pre-heat the oven to 180 C

2. Mix the flour with the baking powder

3. Beat the olive oil with the sugar for a few minutes either with the hand or with the stand mixer

4. Continue beating and add the cognac and orange juice with soda

5. Stop the mixer and gently fold in the flour. Don’t overwork the dough or it will start to separate

6. Form the melomakarona into slightly oval shapes either small or medium sized. They will almost double in sixe in the oven and you don’t want to end up with massive cookie-style monsters

7. Place the on a baking sheet (you don’t need to line it with anything as they have enough oil by themselves, but if you feel uneasy about that just line the baking sheets with a silicone mat or baking parchment)

8. Bake for 30 minutes or until nicely browned. Meanwhile make the syrup which need to be kept in a gentle simmer

9. When you take the melomakarona out of the oven place them straight into the simmering syrup for 30 second to 2 minutes. Time depends on how much they have baked and how much syrup you would like them to absorb. Gently remove with a slotted spoon and place on a platter

10. Garnish with the chopped walnuts.

Eat when they are cold. They will keep covered (not in the fridge) for quite a while.

A few tips

- Don’t overwork the dough
- Always dunk the hot Melomakarona in cold syrup
- Use semolina in the dough
