TOWN
We start in the Old Town; we will walk up through the street of the Knights of St.John of Jerusalem passing the impressively restored Palace of the Grand Masters.

We continue to the entrance of the old harbour where the famous Colossus of Rhodes once stood, and then past the many hotel complexes as we drive up to the Acropolis of Rhodes. >From that point you will enjoy an excellent panoramic view. Then we visit the Temple of Apollo, the Greek Stadium and the Greek Amphitheatre.

COUNTRY
Then starting to move inland passing through local villages we come to the Filerimos where you can climb the steps inside the cross and take in the breath taking views.

Next it’s Butterfly Valley always beautiful but especially from June to September when thousands of multi-coloured butterflies appear. Relax by the fresh water stream or take a walk through the valley. Entrances fees approx 5 euros.

WINE
The highlight of the day, if you enjoy wine will be the wine tasting in one of the two local wine factories, try some of the many wines and liquors made on the Island, then buy your favourites from the factory shop, a quick stop at traditional shop selling local olive oil, soaps and spices.

Upon returning to Rhodes Town, you may choose to be dropped off to your hotel, or your cruise ship, or near the city gates of the Old Town for independent browsing.
