Mosque of Murat Reis
The 17th-century mosque was named after Murat Reis, an Ottoman naval commander who served in Süleyman the Magnificent's navy. The shady peaceful grounds surrounding it are a network of traditional and ornate cobblestone courtyards and a battered but proud cemetery where the marbled Ottoman grave markers remain. British expat novelist Lawrence Durrell once lived on the grounds, inspired by the tranquil beauty of the place. Amid the pronounced footprint of the Knights in Rhodes, this site is a real plunge into the lesser-seen side of Rhodes's history.
