Overview
Experience the enchanting allure of Rhodes on this captivating half-day tour. Your tour will begin with a panoramic drive to Mandraki Harbour from the cruise port of Rhodes, once the esteemed military port of ancient Rhodes. Marvel at the iconic statues of Elafos and Elafina, symbolic remnants standing where the Colossus of Rhodes once graced the harbor entrance. Admire the historic windmills and Public Administration buildings that dot this picturesque waterfront.
Opposite Mandraki Harbour you'll see the New Market Hall (Nea Agora), a striking white edifice housing an array coffee shops, snack bars and gift shops alongside local produce.
Delve deeper into history as you make your way to Monte Smith hill, home to the ancient Acropolis of Rhodes. Explore the remnants of classical Greek architecture, including the Temple of Athena, Temple of Apollo, and Diagoras Stadium.
The tour will then continue on into the Old Town of Rhodes, Europe's oldest inhabited medieval enclave. Enter the fortified city through the D'Amboise Gate and behold the medieval splendour of the Grand Master Palace, a rare gem of Gothic architecture in Greece. Wander along the illustrious Street of the Knights, a 600-meter-long testament to medieval grandeur, flanked by medieval towers.
Enjoy an hour of free time amidst the charm of the Old Town, indulging in the delights of its quaint shops offering exquisite handmade jewellery, fine leather goods, and unique souvenirs.
At the end of the tour you will have the option of returning to the cruise port via transportation or remaining in the Old Town to explore further and making your own way back to the cruise port.
