Rhodes Aquarium
Mediterranean sea life in an Art Deco building at the island's northern tip.
At the very northern tip of Rhodes, the aquarium was built by the Italians in the 1930s as a marine research station, and it still is one. Outside it's Art Deco; inside, the tanks sit in a dim, cave-like basement.
What you'll see
Life from the seas around the island, from anemones and wrasse to sea bream, and the gizani, a small freshwater fish found only on Rhodes.
Good to know
- An hour is plenty
- Elli, the town beach with its diving tower, is next door
- Combine it with an evening in the Old Town
