About this tour
This short walk follows the Street of the Knights, the medieval street where different language groups within the Knights Hospitaller each kept their own inn. Kyriaki shows the worn cobbles and the coats of arms still visible above several doorways. She explains how the order organised itself by nationality within a single street.
Kyriaki checks her connection at the top of the street before walking down at an easy pace, pointing out specific facades and their carved emblems. She answers questions about the Knights' organisation as she goes. A short list of what was seen follows the call.
This suits travellers interested in medieval history and architecture who want a short, focused walk. It also pairs well with a session on the nearby Palace of the Grand Master.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide

Before you go, the guide sums up with a few things worth remembering: a dish to try: Melekouni (sesame and honey sweet) and New Town (Neo Chora), worth a slower look.
