The famous medieval city of Rhodes characterized by UNESCO as a monument of world cultural heritage, offers a unique experience to visitors with its ability to blend the past and present. The scars left by its rich and turbulent history have become its treasures. Hellenistic Greeks, Romans, Crusader Knights, Turks, Italians, all invaders who brought some destruction but who also left behind fascinating artifacts.
Arrival to Rhodes and check in at the four or five star, ideally located hotel (see the Suggested Hotels section).
Half day tour for our visitor to explore the city of Rhodes starting by the three windmills near to St Nicolas Fort, the New Market, the Public Administration buildings, the entrance of the Mandraki harbour, the two deer – where it is believed that the Colossus once stood – and the underwater Aquarium. After visiting the Temple of Apollo, our visitor will enter the famous medieval city of Rhodes, through one of its many gates and walk the paved alleyways, next to gigantic walls, under gateways and colonnades and finish your walk at the Archaeological museum.
Dinner at one of the best fish restaurants on the Island, in the charming old city.
The island of KASTELORIZO.
The boat departs from Kolona harbour in the morning for the trip to Kastelorizo, which is the Aegean’s easternmost island consisting of a circular port surrounded by traditional Greek style houses. Our visitor can feel free to explore the island on foot, take a swim, have lunch and enjoy the local cuisine or visit the site where the Oscar awarded movie “Mediterraneo” (1991) was filmed. We would also recommend a local boat trip to admire the dazzling colour of the blue sea of “Cave of Parasta” or “Blue Grotto”, which is the most famous attraction of the island.
Dinner at the best ouzeri in Rhodes, on the beach, for home-made food.
Visit to Lindos, one of the most picturesque villages, at 55km from Rhodes town. Topped with an impressive Acropolis, it spills down into stunning twin bays. The village is all pedestrian and donkeys are used for climbing up to the Acropolis. Lunch at one of the oldest restaurants, located in the main square, with traditional excellent food and friendly ambience.
In the afternoon, it is time to leave Rhodes, with the finest memories and start your trip for the return home.
