What to expect

  1. Old Town of Rhodes
    Pass by
    Enjoy a panoramic drive along the fortified walls of Rhodes Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the best-preserved medieval cities in Europe. Built by the Knights of St. John in the 14th century, the Old Town is surrounded by massive stone ramparts, moats, and seven grand gates. As you pass by, you will glimpse imposing towers, Gothic architecture, and the timeless atmosphere of a city that has been continuously inhabited for over 2,000 years.
  2. Mandraki Harbour
    Pass by
    Discover Mandraki Port, the historic gateway to Rhodes for over 2,500 years. Legend says this is where the mighty Colossus of Rhodes once stood—one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Today, elegant medieval windmills line the pier, while the famous deer statues, Elafos and Elafina, stand proudly at the port’s entrance. The harbor has welcomed ancient warships, Byzantine fleets, and the Knights’ galleys, making it a place filled with seafaring history.
  3. Pass by
    Admire the Church of the Annunciation (Evangelismos), built by the Italians in 1925 and considered the most impressive modern church on the island. Its neo-Gothic design, tall bell tower, and beautifully painted frescoes make it a masterpiece of spiritual art. Inside, you’ll see Byzantine-style icons, marble details, and religious artwork created by renowned Greek iconographers, blending centuries of Orthodox tradition with Italian architectural influence.
  4. Aquarium of Rhodes - Hydrobiological Station
    Pass by
    Visit the northernmost tip of Rhodes, a stunning natural point where the Aegean Sea meets the Mediterranean Sea, creating a dramatic contrast of waves and color. Next to this unique landmark stands the historic Rhodes Aquarium, built in 1934 during the Italian era. Originally a marine research laboratory, it now showcases Mediterranean marine life. The surrounding area is perfect for photos, offering open sea views, meeting currents, and refreshing coastal breezes.
  5. Monte Smith
    15m
    Head up to Monte Smith, named after British Admiral Sir Sidney Smith, who used this strategic hill to monitor Napoleonic naval movements. Monte Smith offers breathtaking panoramic views of Rhodes City, the coastline, and the sparkling sea. Scattered across the hill are impressive archaeological remains from the 3rd and 2nd centuries BC, including parts of the ancient stadium, theater, and the sanctuary dedicated to Apollo. It’s one of the most historic and scenic viewpoints on the island.
  6. The Acropolis of Rhodes
    Pass by
    Pass by the ancient Acropolis of Rhodes, a remarkable hilltop site overlooking the modern city. This archaeological park features the partially restored Temple of Apollo, an elegant Hellenistic stadium where athletic games once took place, and a small ancient theater used for musical and rhetorical performances. Dating back over 2,300 years, the Acropolis reflects the grandeur and sophistication of ancient Rhodes, one of the most powerful cities in the classical world.
  7. Anthony Quinn Bay
    Pass by
    See the world-famous Anthony Quinn Bay, celebrated for its crystal-clear emerald waters, dramatic rocky coastline, and natural caves. The bay gained global fame when Hollywood actor Anthony Quinn filmed scenes of The Guns of Navarone here in 1961 and fell in love with the location so deeply that the Greek government once attempted to gift it to him. Today, it is considered one of the most beautiful and photogenic swimming spots in Rhodes.
  8. Village of Lindos
    1h 10m · Admission ticket not included

Lindos perfectly blends culture, history, and natural beauty, making it a must-visit stop on your Rhodes tour

    Experience the serene beauty of Saint Paul’s Bay, a natural horseshoe-shaped harbor known for its calm turquoise waters. According to tradition, Apostle Paul landed here in 51 AD during his mission to spread Christianity.
