Overview

This thoughtfully curated excursion offers a refreshing alternative to the typical tourist routes through Rhodes Old Town, inviting you to experience the city from a more authentic and intimate perspective. Rather than navigating through crowded streets and well-worn paths, you will uncover hidden corners and lesser-known landmarks that reveal the true character and charm of this UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Designed with comfort and accessibility in mind, this itinerary is especially suitable for guests who prefer to avoid stairs.
A highlight of the tour is a visit to the Palace of the Grand Master, which is equipped with an elevator, allowing for easier access throughout the site. Unlike other excursions that include the Archaeological Museum, where stairs are unavoidable and no elevator is available, this experience ensures a more relaxed and accommodating visit without compromising on historical depth.

Your journey begins with a warm welcome from a licensed, English-speaking guide who will meet you directly at your cruise ship port, ensuring a seamless and stress-free start to your day. From there, you will be escorted into the heart of Rhodes Old Town, where your exploration begins.

You will enjoy a guided walking tour through the historic center. The experience starts at the Church of Saint Panteleimon, where you will step inside the grounds and receive an informative introduction to the layout of the Old Town. Using a detailed map, your guide will clearly outline the route and provide context for the sites you will encounter along the way.

As you continue through the Old Town, you will visit culturally and historically significant landmarks such as Panagia tou Bourgou, Jewish Martyrs Square, and the Holocaust Memorial. These important sites offer insight into the island’s diverse heritage and complex past. Along the way, you will stroll through picturesque narrow alleyways that capture the essence of medieval Rhodes, passing notable monuments including the Mosque of Suleiman and the Church of Saint Fanourios.

Following the walking tour, you will proceed to the Palace of the Grand Master, one of the most iconic and impressive landmarks on the island. Here, you will embark on an in-depth guided visit lasting approximately one hour and ten minutes, during which your guide will bring to life the fascinating history of the Knights of St. John and their influence on Rhodes.

The experience continues with a leisurely walk along the famous Street of the Knights, widely regarded as one of the best-preserved medieval streets in Europe. Over the course your guide will enrich your understanding of this remarkable setting with engaging stories and historical insights.

At the conclusion of your tour, your guide will escort you back to your cruise ship, ensuring a comfortable and timely return, and leaving you with lasting memories of a truly unique and immersive journey through Rhodes Old Town.
