Dog-Friendly Attractions in Rhodes

The walled medieval city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the best-preserved in Europe, a car-free maze of cobbled lanes, gates and stone squares. The streets themselves are free to wander with a leashed dog, making it a superb open-air walk, even if the ticketed indoor monuments are off-limits to pets.

The historic harbour, with its row of medieval windmills, Fort St Nicholas and the bronze deer columns marking the legendary site of the Colossus, forms a flat, scenic open-air walk right beside the marina. It is one of the most enjoyable leashed strolls in Rhodes Town, catching the sea breeze.

A shaded historic park of streams, stone bridges and dense greenery, Rodini doubles as one of Rhodes Town's best leashed dog walks and its coolest daytime refuge in summer. Free-roaming peacocks and ducks mean dogs must stay leashed, but the canopy and running water make it a genuine green escape from the heat.
