Travel comfortably from your port destination to your chosen attractions. Begin with a visit to the famous walled medieval town of Old City, the largest of its kind in Europe and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Discover its narrow streets and Gothic architecture, including the Palace of the Grand Master, a medieval castle and former citadel built by the Byzantine Empire. Continue to the Archaeological Museum to see Mycenaean artifacts like ceramics and vases. For a relaxing end to your tour, head to Prasonisi Beach, where the Aegean Sea and the Mediterranean Sea meet.

For a more scenic experience, consider a short drive to the west coast to visit the village of Trianda and Filerimos Hill, the acropolis of the ancient city of Ialyssos. Here, explore the remains of the ancient temple dedicated to the Virgin-Goddess Athena and walk the path lined with cypress trees leading to a monumental cross. Enjoy a traditional Greek coffee at a local coffee shop before returning to Rhodes town. Take a photo opportunity at the remains of the ancient Acropolis in the Monte Smith area, and then enter the old city through the D’Amboise Gate. Your tour will continue on foot to the Palace of the Grand Masters, down the street of the knights, and past medieval buildings and towers.

Antiquity is everywhere on the island of Rhodes, from its cobbled Old Town to a mighty acropolis presiding high over the town of Lindos. Ancient ruins recall Crusades-era occupation and Ottoman tyranny, but today, a rather magical Aegean lifestyle is predominant. Travelers will enjoy excellent food, picturesque beaches, buzzing nightlife, and snorkeling in clear waters. Some must-sees here include the Palace of the Grandmaster of the Knights of Rhodes (a medieval castle), the Colossus of Rhodes statue, and the nature reserve Valley of the Butterflies. |
