Akandia Gate

This gate is not an original medieval construct. It was opened in 1935 in order to accommodate modern needs, thankfully with considerable respect for the preservation of the medieval aura of the town. Its name is derived from its alignment towards Crete, which was called Candia in the post medieval period, during Venetian rule. This part of the city faced á Candia (to Crete).

One of the more uninteresting gates. Close walk from Virgin Mary church ruins

With some ice cream and lovely people ❤️🤩

Great place to explore, ditch

Well worth a visit as part of a tour of the Old Town.

One of the Gates to enter through Medieval city of Rhodes. L9cated net to the entrance of the Jewish sector. Very nice area!!!

This is probably one of the more modest entrances to The Old Town. It is found on the Eastern side of The Old Town, and connects the Akandia area with ferry port, which is about a kilometer walk. It is a relatively new entrance, built by the Italians in world war 2. Just inside the entrance, some really nice restaurants can be found.

Managed to walk through it without any issues. So it's a working gate. Minus one star for the lack of free ice cream.
