Megalou Alexandrou Square
Rhodes Archaeological Museum
It has two floors, and most of the exhibits are on the second, past the big stairs. There are also gardens with statues and mosaic. Hard to find at the end of the garden is a several floor Ottoman home under reconstruction that is partially open. Visitors are simply allowed up on the walls to walk along the top of them at their own pace.

Rhodes
Palace of the Grand Master of the Knights of Rhodes
can be split into outside, courtyard, outside wall, first floor and second floor. The Archaeological Museum offers more selection and allows photos. Second floor has a variety of later "artifacts" such as mosaics from Kos and other odd bits and bobs, but it has almost no descriptions (probably to force people to wait for a tour guide). The Palace of the Grand Masters was demolished by a gunpowder explosion in 1856 and reconstructed by the Italians as a summer residence for Mussolini in 1940.

A note before you go. Start with Rodini Park, then decide whether Nymphaeums deserves a separate visit rather than rushing both. The suggested days are an editable grouping, not a timed tour. Visit allowances exclude transfers, meals and queues; confirm the exact entrance and current visiting arrangements for Palace of the Grand Master of the Knights of Rhodes before setting off.

BEFORE YOU SET OFF
A more practical kind of plan.
Getting your bearings
In the Old Town, the primary method of travel is your feet. There are several bus routes within Rhodes city, operated by Δ.Ε.Σ ΡΟΔΑ bus company.
Build a route that makes sense
Rodini Park and Nymphaeums are about 1.6 km apart in a straight line. Use the route link to compare the actual streets or transport connections before putting both in the same morning; the measurement is not a walking distance or a transfer estimate.
