Mandraki is situated in the modern city of Rhodes. In the harbour, you will see the 3 mills of Rhodes as well as the place where the famous Colossus of Rhodes was built. This 30-meter high statue of the sun-god Helios was entirely destroyed by an earthquake in 226 BC. It was replaced by 2 small statues representing a deer (the symbol of Rhodes), built on 2 pillars at the port’s entrance. In Mandraki, you will find many beautiful monuments built during the Italian occupation of Rhodes: the Bank of Greece, the Archbishops Palace, the City Hall and the National Theatre of Rhodes. There is also a casino and many international clothing brands stores such as Zara or H&M if you want to do a bit of shopping. If you’re visiting Rhodes with children, you should go to the Aquarium, located North of Mandraki, right next to the Casino. In Rhodes’ modern city, you will also discover the vestiges of Rhodes’ Acropolis, located 2 km away from the medieval city, on the slopes of Monte Smith.

Mandraki Harbor was once the military port for ancient Rhodes. Today the mouth of the harbor contains male and female deer statues, but in historical times, chains would close off the area. Today, the harbor is home to million-dollar yachts and small boats that take travelers to other nearby islands and some of the beaches in Rhodes.
