Description - What to expect

Your Rhodes sightseeing starts with a convenient pick-up from your hotel and a ride for approx. 60-minutes along the east coast. Meet your professionally trained tour driver and set off in a spacious, comfortable air-conditioned Minibus to discover the best Lindos & Rhodes highlights. See beautiful countryside landscapes full of olive tree groves, traditional villages, mountaintops, and valleys abundant with natural beauty.

On the way, stop at a small farmhouse to taste Rhodian olive oil and learn about the local lifestyle. Upon your arrival to Lindos, be wowed by one of the most impressive views of the island! Your driver will make a quick stop so you can soak in the spectacular view and take memorable photos before heading to the next sightseeing spot. Continue discovering the beauties of Lindos by driving with ease around the village to see the entire settlement and savor stunning views.

Next to your Rhodes sightseeing, see the famed St. Paul’s Bay and take some of the most amazing holiday photos! It is time to kick off your Lindos visit! Receive your customized map of Lindos with directions & information and take full advantage of your free time to enjoy the village at your own pace. Have a leisurely walk along the cobbled paths that wind between traditional Lindian whitewashed homes & colorful courtyards with bougainvillea trees, see hidden alleyways with ornate Captains houses nowadays occupied with atmospheric taverns, find local crafts at stylish boutiques, have an ice cream or fresh orange juice, or head to the Acropolis of Lindos and tour the archaeological site.

Then, meet your driver again and continue with a return drive along the coast of Rhodes. Your next stop for your Rhodes sightseeing is Kallithea Springs – a closed, rocky cove that attracts thousands of visitors from around the world. As you walk into the site, you will notice its unusual architecture! Kallithea was built by Italians during the inter-war period as a luxurious SPA facility to attract noble tourists to the springs with medical waters and to demonstrate the natural beauties of the island. You will be given free time for self-exploration and your leisure time.

If you are looking for a cultural experience, see the exhibition of the "Big Rotunda” to learn about its tremendous history and reconstruction, and hear stories about the SPA with its therapeutical water from the springs. Connoisseurs of historical movies will be interested to recognize Kallithea as a set for the famous foreign landmark movies “Guns of Navarone” and “Escape to Athina”. Finally, Kallithea offers a wonderful beachfront snack bar where you can relax with your family or friends and soak up the atmosphere by having a light lunch or a refreshing drink! (during hot summer months, make sure to have a swimsuit as well, it is difficult to resist the inviting turquoise water!)

Fully refreshed and excited, continue with the Panoramic tour of Rhodes City to see the highlights of the capital city with its ancient, medieval, and modern-day heritage sites. Observe all the town’s major government buildings like the Town Hall, the Court, Prefecture Offices, Central Post, National Theatre, and the Main Church. Most of the buildings are works created by Florestano di Fausto during the Italian dictatorship combining architectural styles and elements of Byzantine, Venetian, Renaissance, Ottoman, and local Greek culture. Pass by the Mandraki Esplanade and see the Statues with Deer at the entrance of the ancient port where it is believed the Colossus of Rhodes once stood.

Then, your driver will take you to the highest part of the city, also known as Monte Smith, where the Acropolis of Rhodes with the Temple of Apollo is situated. Conclude your Rhodes sightseeing with a stop for photos to capture the unforgettable view overlooking Rhodes Town, the Northernmost point of Rhodes Island, and the coastline of Asia Minor.
