Bernard Randolph (1643 – c. 1690) was an English merchant. He stayed in the East for approximately nine years and toured the Peloponnese, the Aegean islands, Crete and Rhodes. Randolph left us one of the first travel chronicles, that is, a narrative of an actual journey in Greek territories, something unusual for his era. Also uncommon is the fact that he is interested in the present state of the countries he visited rather than the antiquities.
