Medieval City

This UNESCO World Heritage Site, the largest inhabited medieval city in Europe, is located just 6 km from the Kresten Royal Euphoria resort. Transport yourself back in time by walking through its narrow cobblestone streets. It will soon feel as if, just around the corner, you will run into one of the Knights of St John on horseback. These Knights occupied the island from 1309 to 1522, and the island's present-day character is owed mainly to them. The numerous towering gates, the well-preserved medieval fortress walls and moat, the atmospheric Street of the Knights, the imposing Palace of the Grand Master (now housing the Byzantine Museum), the Hospital built by the Knights (currently housing the Archaeological Museum) and the busy Ippokratous Square are just a few of the exciting sites to visit. Although the medieval city's real appeal is that you never know what fantastic aspect you will encounter next.
