The ruins of Asklipio Castle remain hidden to many tourists, as it is located in the village of the same name in the hinterland off the main tourist routes.

The 10 best hotels in Rhodes

As with most Rhodes landmarks, the history of Asklipio Castle is linked to the Knights of Malta, who ruled Rhodes from the early 14th century.

The castle began to decay in the 16th century after the Ottoman Empire took over Rhodes.
