Shopping for antiques in Rhodes

I VISITED ATHENS YEARS AGO AND FOUND NO GOOD EDGED WEAPONS BUT FOUND PLENTY OF EXCELLENT NICELY PRICED EXAMPLES OF REPLICAS OF ANCIENT POTTERY TO BRING BACK. GOOD LUCK AND HAVE FUN.

I visited Rhodes first about 30 years ago and found several shops in the Old Town which sold genuine antique weapons, but I considered them rather overpriced then. I went back about 5 years ago and found none of these shops , instead there was a plethora of modern tourist tat shops most of which sold very poor copies of pistols and daggers .
