DISCOVER RHODES I With a local Guide

Overview

Welcome on our most informative and comprehensive guided tour! You will sit back in our spacious & comfortable Minibus, and enjoy a relaxing drive along the East Coast with extensive commentary from your tour guide who will introduce you to Rhodes Island. We will also make a few stops on the way to capture memorable photos. The famed St. Paul’s Bay will surely impress you! It has appeared many times in Europe’s Top 10 Beach list.

And off you go – into the labyrinth of Lindos village! You can take advantage of your Private tour guide and learn all about the typical Cycladic architecture and Lindian lifestyle from ancient times to nowadays. Discover a 15th-century church with impressive mural paintings, see a traditional Lindian house, and find out Captains’ Mansions. Walk up to the Acropolis (optional) and explore the Ancient monument. You will also have some free time on your own to take photos, check some souvenir boutiques, or have a little rest with a snack/ drink.

Then meet your guide again and continue with your next discovery – Rhodes town with it’s ancient, medieval, and modern heritage. On the way, we will drive through a scenic area known as Rhodes Riviera, and approaching Rhodes city, you will have a nice Panoramic view over the Ancient part of Rhodes with the Acropolis, the Temple of Apollo, the Ancient Stadium and Odeon. You will also see the Northernmost point of the Island, the statue of an Ancient hero, one of the founding fathers of Rhodes town, and the world-famous site of the Ancient Colossus. While the statue does not exist, it is the legend that captivates our imagination!

After, it is time for the guided walk through the Medieval Town of Rhodes, the World Heritage site UNESCO since 1988. This will be a unique and unforgettable experience! Cross the moat and enter the town through one of the most impressive gates dedicated to one of the Grand Masters. Walking along defense walls, you will come across different coats of arms, medieval cannons, and cannonballs. You will stop by the Palace of the Grand Master and learn all about the order of St. John, it’s history, its establishment in Rhodes, the administration and officials, the economic development, culture life. Walk the oldest and most well-preserved street – the Street of the Knights, discovering the Knights’ Embassies and “Tongues”. Then your tour guide can either walk you through the Jewish Quarter, see more of the Byzantine Monuments or explore the Ottoman heritage sites. You will also have your free time to see souvenirs or enjoy a well-deserved snack/drink!

At the conclusion of the tour, your driver will meet you at the Marina Gate and take you back to your accommodation.
