City Break in Rhodes, 4 days

After breakfast, embark on a fascinating guided walking tour through the Medieval City of Rhodes, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the best-preserved fortified medieval towns in Europe.

Protected by a deep moat and an impressive double ring of defensive walls, the Old Town resembles a living medieval time capsule. As you enter through its monumental gates, you will be transported back to the era of the Knights of Saint John, who ruled Rhodes for more than two centuries.

Your knowledgeable guide will lead you through atmospheric cobbled streets, hidden squares and historic neighbourhoods while sharing stories of the battles, sieges and powerful personalities that shaped the city’s remarkable past. Along the way, admire medieval buildings, stone archways, fortified residences and monuments reflecting the island’s Byzantine, Ottoman and European influences.

The walking tour continues to the magnificent Palace of the Grand Master, an imposing 14th-century fortified castle that once served as the administrative centre and residence of the leader of the Knights. Restored during the 1930s, the palace now functions as a museum displaying medieval furniture, impressive mosaic floors and archaeological exhibits from across Rhodes.

After exploring the palace, walk along the legendary Street of the Knights, considered one of the finest and best-preserved medieval streets in Europe. The street is lined with the historic inns that once housed the Knights according to their language and country of origin.

At the end of the street, you will reach the Archaeological Museum of Rhodes, housed in the former Hospital of the Knights. Built during the 15th century, it is one of the most impressive and well-preserved buildings in the Old Town.
