We enjoyed walking through this palace/museum of sorts and seeing the mosaics and items on display. We probably spent about an hour, maybe an hour and a half there.

Lovely building and worth a look around. Shame about the Kos flooring! Whoops. Not enough knights stuff. Wanted to see more armour and swords.

if u stay for 4 days at Rodes like i - this visit to Old Rodes town is an excellent choice to see at max. U will have great walk along the fortress, go inside, enjoy small streets and after that drink Greek coffee. My recommendations
