thats the She wolf who raised Romulus and Remus, incredible

[@joanyates5225]

Thank you Sharon & Martin you brought back lovely memories of my late husband & mine trip to The Palace, I’ve been looking at our photos. Enjoy the rest of your holiday.

[@butlersempire]

You are so welcome

[@sandrapaterson8678]

I've never seen the old town so quiet, usually its heaving. You did the right thing going into the Palace so early as its always mobbed and you had the space to see everything clearly. Those stairs are a killer lol. So enjoyed this and lots more to see 😊

[@davesandall4530]

Still keep thinking you'll walk past a cafe and lee van camp will be sat outside

[@myrajones6866]

Love your videos, never been to Rhodes, have now ,thanks for sharing your holiday with us 😃😃

[@butlersempire]

Thanks for watching!

[@rlmtrelomatt7390]

The Old Town is a Unesco World Heritage Site, In other places old towns that have this status, generally only have car and motorized vehicles access for the residents and business owners who actually live inside the old town. This is done to protect the site. Another great video. :) Thanks

[@DavidDunning-m3v]

Lovely the old town have a great time xxx❤

[@marcuswhitmore6622]

What an amazing place to visit. Very interesting.

[@pamelapattison7921]

[@Emma-ol8nf]

Bought back memories when we went in 2019. Looking forward to the next episode 😊

[@ronaldmartin7892]

Amazing architecture. It puts the modern stuff to shame and will not crumble after fifty years. It's beautiful. A good video. Thanks.

[@butlersempire]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@pauleneroberts1453]

What a stunning place, thank you for taking us along with you. Enjoy the rest of your holiday. Looking forward to the next episode 😁 xx

[@mariapollock9231]

If I ever go back to Rhodes I’ll go same time as it’s lovely when it’s not heaving with tourists. I have great memories of walking round the old town had many iced coffees there too 😊

[@butlersempire]

[@eileentaylor787]

We've been looking at Greek Islands for our holiday next year ❤ Think we've fallen in love with Rhodes, have a wonderful holiday guys ❤

[@davidlean2879]

You 2 would make great travel guides! Great commentary

[@craigwignall8450]

Great video well done. Sharon i bet you could have spent hours looking round the castle you are so inquisitive well done 👍

[@magssnoops]

Great video, brought back some wonderful memories. Rhodes is an amazing place.

[@butlersempire]

It really is!

[@margaretwotherspoon566]

Fantastic vlog today, really enjoyed it actually felt as though I was walking with yous. Well done the Butlers you never fail to put a good vlog out.👍🥰🥰

[@butlersempire]

Thanks so much 😊

[@bucko6515]

They built properties with high ceilings due to heat rises, therefore in hot countries, the higher the ceiling the better & they was cool, hence why churches have huge domes on their roofs. To keep cool in our houses with low ceilings, we need fans or air conditioning machines, which cost a lot to run in electricity, so I just open my latch door that leads into my loft and leave it open in the hot summer months to let the heat raise into my roof, it then keeps our house cooler without paying for gadgets.

[@johngriffin9476]

What a masterpiece thanks 👍 for sharing your holiday it's just brilliant 💯💯💯

[@butlersempire]

Many thanks

[@chrislazarou7491]

Wow wow wow the castle was amazing, such awesome architecture, like you say they don’t make them like they used to

[@robsondog01]

The statues under the arches are Statues of the Grand Master of the Knights of Rhodes. Loving your holiday vlog, we were in Pefkos two weeks ago although we enjoyed our holiday afraid weather was in 40’s a tad too hot for us.x

[@butlersempire]

Oh wow!

[@hootenanny1001]

Thank you for taking us along👍

[@butlersempire]

Our pleasure!

[@stephanieboond1564]

I bet that palace is highly Guarded with all that furniture must be worth millions ..me and husband went to Malta omg its a Beautiful place is Malta. The apartment was like a huge 2 bed flat with 2 bathrooms,2 bedrooms a huge living room and kitchen also the balcony was big in the hotel where we stayed..i didnt want to leave there ..the area was called Qawra .the people are quite nice and friendly .. if i ever won the lottery ide buy a place in Malta.❤

[@JackalynBeavis]

Fabulous Greek video. Very informative. Thanks guys xxx

[@SandraDent-lf4xy]

Hi Martin and Sharon,i don't think i would drive over there I'd forget what i was doing and end up on the wrong side of the road. I knew Sharon would find her way back to the car. It was lovely looking round the palace

[@janetroberts2262]

I think some sense of community has come back since covid but I totally get what your saying Martin, sadly, gone are the days when everyone knew everyone on their street and surrounding streets and everyone looked out for each other and their children. ❤

[@outsider5112]

"What the Butlers saw" - Nice one Sharron 😂

[@Trudy169]

Hi Martin and Sharon , what a lovely place Rhodes is, you did well driving there, I Remember my first time driving in Spain , they are mad , my sons said il fit in ok here . Cheeky sods . Beautiful castle , palace, it amazes me how they managed without cranes and mechanical stuff to build such beautiful buildings . Thank you for a lovely insight into Rhodes .

[@butlersempire]

Glad you enjoyed it Trudy

[@karenshean8841]

Isn't Rhodes just glorious? I loved the old town! I went there many years ago and vowed I'd go back. Sadly I never have but your videos have made me determined to go, although I expect it's a lot more built up now. I remember going to Lindos , riding a donkey up a hill, there weren't any hotels there, it was a place you went to on a day trip, now it's a full blown resort. I have to say Sharon, your hair looks really lovely, have you had it cut differently? Martin, I thought you did a brilliant job filming without your tripod, it's difficult to film without getting a lot of jerky frames, but your filming was just so smooth. Enjoy the rest of your holiday, and thanks for taking us with you. X

[@butlersempire]

Thank you Karen

[@lisaburbidge7570]

Thank you for taking us on your day trip. I really enjoyed it. The Palace is absolutely stunning. You would make amazing tour guides. Felt like I was there. Looking forward to your next one. ❤ x

[@joanneyoung8571]

[@butlersempire]

Thank you so much 👍

[@glendaanderson8627]

We've been to Rhodes, but didn't go to the old town; regrettably. It looks beautiful. Thank you Sharon & Martin for taking so much care and time to make your videos, it's really appreciated, especially since you're on your holiday!! Enjoy x

[@butlersempire]

Our pleasure!Glenda

[@SmallWonda]

Very good to have a nice mooch around the Old Town - I remember my sister going there donkey's years ago & being amazed by it and all the history around the Knights Templar and beyond. When you think so much culture has come down the ages from Greece, so to be there must feel impressive. Very good point you made, Martin, about the stones holding the memories - has to be more dynamic than dreaded concrete & steel - all so brutal. And even as that citadel was a military installation, protecting & defending, it was still incredibly beautiful and awe-inspiring. I think you'll find Rhodes is bursting with locations like this - you may need the car another day. I know you're all-inclusive, but how much is food & drink & could you have just done B & B then eaten out fairly affordably? Glad you are having a great time & thanks for taking us along.

[@butlersempire]

Yes, the food outside is reasonable too.

[@andrewgrimmett8363]

Go to Lindos it’s around 40 minutes from roads it’s amazing

[@helenwilliamson7099]

That was beautiful ❤

[@vijayantgovender2045]

Thank you for taking us on your wonderful journey watching from South Africa

[@ecole3139]

Stunning trip today... Thank you both xx

[@butlersempire]

Our pleasure!

[@diydave3034]

Brave man, driving a manual abroad, I’ve hired an auto whenever I’ve gone - my brain can just about cope with driving on the right, but changing gear with the other hand is a step too far. Well done. Glad your holiday is going well

[@ali5on]

I think at 9.35 is where Harld Baldl got his ring.

[@dianewray1867]

Wonderful! Like a trip back to my late twenties/thirties. Many of the mosaics in the Grand Masters' palace were originally from the Island of Kos - another place to add to your list. x

[@margaretmalshinger7495]

Sharon and Martin, such fantastic history, the architecture was great to see. Thank you for bringing us along with you both. Also love the music you played on your video. Have a great day exploring. Best wishes xx

[@butlersempire]

Our pleasure!

[@JazzFunkNobby1964]

An amazing palace. Thanks for showing us around. Stone Masons throughout history have left an amazing legacy. Compare these wonders of construction with the cheap temporary crap of nowadays.

[@debbiesmith368]

Sharon looks really pretty in dark blue .

[@sheilagarrido8204]

Enjoy the rest of your day Folks. Pick us all up again soon. PLEASE🥰🥰🥰

[@mariasnell6868]

Thanks for the tour. Love the way you describe the feelings and how you think it was built and how many stories the palace could tell, well that was my interpretation from your description. 😁. Xx

[@butlersempire]

Glad you enjoyed it!

God bless you both and have a great time ❤

Enjoying the videos in Rhodes. We are heading there July 24 staying in Lindos

[@mazzarouni5608]

Hello Sharon & Martin. We stayed in Ialyssos back in 2015. We stayed at the Blue Horizon Hotel. Very nice area. Did you venture up the hill at Ialyssos where the Monastery is? Anyway glad you’re having a good time. Tuck into a pork souvlaki kebab and a cold glass of Mythos.

Loved the Old Town. Knights of St John built most of it. It’s a UNESCO world heritage site so it’s protected

[@annerosson4730]

I’ve so enjoyed todays blog.Martin’s love of History ,and his enthusiasm and admiration for the workmanship of the day makes it so interesting for us watching. More please.

[@butlersempire]

Thanks so much

[@5tu4rt]

You wanna watch out at junctions without markings, as it's often right before left, so they are pulling out in front of you as they may have right of way Martin. Have a google for the priority and end of priority road sign.

[@mikelucas7171]

Totally ace video you 2 crack me up but make my day 👍

You answer all my questions as a bit of a nervous Nelly of a traveller😅 I have been enjoying binge watching your vids for a year now.such a lovely family and Lee Van Camp is hilarious in video with Martin..ye are a tonic when together..belly laughs all round 😂😂. Keep upthe good work. Love from Cork Ireland ❤

[@butlersempire]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@martinsmith9947]

I took out a hire car in Malaga one time - and went into a Spanish car as the road narrowed and narrowed into a single lane. The owner was not happy. Luckily I'd taken out full insurance on the vehicle and it didn't cost me a penny. The only time I trust getting a hire car now is in countries with massive road space like the US - had a massive dodge caravan there, no probs.

[@helendavies2241]

"The Alhambra Palace" in Granada was last place I visited with a similar vibe.. They knew a thing or two about working with Stone and Marble back in those days. Looks like you picked a good time to visit. Not crazy crazy busy but still getting the good Weather . A nice little tour around the Old Town that :)
