You will be met at the port to begin your tour.

Founded 2,400 years ago, Rhodes Town, the fascinating capital of Rhodes, is located on the north-eastern tip of the island. A melting pot of the remnants of its ancient and medieval past, together with the hustle and bustle of present day cosmopolitan life, awaits your visit.

Our tour begins with exploration of the ancient Acropolis of Rhodes on the summit of Monte Smith Hill, including remains of the Temple of Apollo and the restored ancient stadium and odeon.

Only a few minutes from the acropolis, we enter a very different atmosphere, with high walls, deep moats and narrow cobbled streets leading to the medieval town of the knights.

Byzantine churches, inns, hospitals and mosques co-exist in the most traditional Greek setting, touched little by the hectic pace of modern life. One of the most impressive buildings within the walls is the Grand Masters' Palace, which houses a superb collection of original mosaics from Kos island, dating from the Hellenistic period to early the Byzantine period. Stroll the charming Street of the Knights, with inns and consulates built in the distinctive styles of the various countries of the resident knights.

You will be transferred back to the port to rejoin your cruise.

One of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World was the Colossus of Rhodes, a statue of the sun god Helios that stood 100 feet tall at the entrance of the Rhodes harbor. The statue was built to celebrate the island's victory against siege by Antigonus I Monophthalmus, one of the generals of Alexander the Great. The statue was largely composed of reforged, abandoned siege weapons. The statue stood for only 56 years and was destroyed by an earthquake in 226BCE.

Travel Tips

Climate
Greece has a warm Mediterranean climate. In summer, dry hot days are often relieved by stiff breezes known as Meltemia, especially in the north and coastal areas. In the summer, Athens can be stiflingly hot, so visitors should allow time to acclimatize. The evenings are cool. Winters are mild in the south but much colder in the north. November to March is the rainy season.

The best time to visit is mid-May to mid-June and mid-September to the end of October.

Late June to September is hot, with low temperatures in the 70’s and highs in the 90’s. Winter months are generally fine for touring, but usually too cold to swim or lie on the beach. Average winter temperatures are a low of 44 and a high of 60. Greece has fairly little rain year-round.
