Basking in more hours of sunshine than any other Greek island, Rhodes is loved for its fascinating past, not to mention its glittering sandy beaches.
This tour kicks off with a visit to what is arguably one of the most beautiful villages in Greece – Lindos. Its well-preserved acropolis and UNESCO status make this a must-do excursion. As you wander through the quaint, quiet streets, it’s impossible not to fall in love with the laid-back pace of life and the postcard-prettiness that the village is famous for. Narrow lanes are lined with little white stone houses, which will have you reaching for your camera every few steps. And it’s a great place to explore, with the famous acropolis boasting treasures like the Temple of Athena, the Byzantine church and the Hellenistic stoa, plus evidence of fortification by the St John’s Knights. Climb the Hellenistic staircase to the top of the acropolis and you’ll be blown away by the panoramic views of the coast and Lindos town. This tour has got it all - incredible architecture and breathtaking views. What more could you ask for?
This trip is a half day taster of the wonderful city of Rhodes. First of all, you’ll visit the heart of the town – the Mandraki harbour and a glistening collection of luxury yachts. Government buildings from the Italian era, pretty pavement cafés and colourful boats dominate the scenery in these parts, so make sure you’ve got your camera handy. Monte Smith is up next, with the ancient acropolis of Rhodes-town, the temple of Apollo, the ancient stadium and the amphitheatre. You’ll drive along a beautiful road which brings you some fantastic panoramic views of the Turkish coast. Starting from the picturesque Porte d’ Amboise, you’ll then enter the old town by foot, walking past the world famous Street of the Knights and the Palace of the Knights. Your tour ends with some free time to reflect on all you’ve seen.
