Explore the Medieval Wonders and Ancient Landmarks of Rhodes on a Comprehensive City Tour


This engaging tour offers a deep dive into the rich history of Rhodes, starting with a drive around the imposing medieval walls of the Old Town. As the largest inhabited medieval city in Europe and a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site, the area is a labyrinth of history waiting to be discovered. Guests will gain a comprehensive overview of the island's strategic importance and architectural evolution while navigating the ancient streets that have stood for centuries.


The itinerary includes a visit to the historic Mandraki Harbor, the legendary site where the Colossus of Rhodes once stood as a beacon of ancient engineering. Nearby, the Church of the Annunciation showcases impressive Orthodox wall paintings, providing a serene contrast to the bustling harbor area. These landmarks serve as essential stops for anyone looking to understand the layers of history, from the classical era to the medieval period, that define the island's unique identity today.


Travelers will also visit the northern tip of the island, a unique geographical point where the Aegean and Mediterranean Seas converge. Following this, the tour ascends to Monte Smith Hill, which provides spectacular panoramic views of the surrounding coastline and the city below. A pass by the Temple of Pythian Apollo adds an archaeological dimension to the experience, highlighting the classical Greek roots that remain deeply embedded in the landscape of this beautiful Aegean destination.


The tour concludes with convenient drop-off options, allowing guests to return to their ship, hotel, or a preferred location within the Old Town. This flexibility ensures that visitors can continue their exploration of the local markets or enjoy a relaxing meal in one of the many traditional tavernas. It is a perfect choice for those seeking a blend of historical education, scenic beauty, and the convenience of a well-planned, professional guided city excursion.

Thoroughly enjoyed our visit to this beautiful palace. It is huge and absolutely stunning and gives a real insight into the Rhodes of yesteryear. We found it fascinating, the architecture, statues, rooms, mosaic floors are awe inspiring and the audiovisual elements really brought it to life. Stop off for a coffee at the lovely coffee shop within the courtyard and enjoyed a lovely coffee. If you are visiting Rhodes this is a must see!

Fantastic - really worth a visit. The architecture of the Palace is wonderful. All of the artifacts inside the museum are well preserved, and the various rooms are terrific to see. It was not overly busy when we went and the tickets were ~€20, but worth it.

A magical place full of history and beauty! I absolutely loved the stunning architecture of the Palace of the Grand Master — as soon as I walked in, it felt like stepping into a Disney movie! Every artifact inside the museum is so well preserved, and the royal rooms are simply beautiful. The atmosphere takes you back in time, letting you imagine the life of the knights who once lived here. The ticket was €20, but it was totally worth it. A must-visit when in Rhodes!
