You will start your day from the city tour of Rhodes Town. At first in the company of our fully licensed, knowledgeable and very friendly guide you will go through the modern Rhodes.

Driving along the Mandraki Esplanade, passing government buildings, contemplating the Church of Annunciation, a contemporary copy of the old church of the Knights of St. John, you arrive at Monte Smith – hill from which opens a stunning view of Rhodes surrounded by sparkling sea.

The comfortable, air-conditioned minivan will bring you to the upper Gate d'Amboise where you leave it and enter the Old City to enjoy the walking tour along narrow streets of the history. The guide will invite you to visit the impressive Palace of the Grand Masters. While looking at the interiors you will know for whom the palace was built in the14th century, who destroyed it in the 19th and why it was completely rebuilt in the 20th.

Leaving the palace, you will continue the tour walking along the Street of Knights where lived the crusades in specially constructed inns once. Down the street you will find the 15th century Knight's Hospital, which is now a very interesting Archaeological Museum. The Hospital is incredibly well-preserved, that makes it a very exciting source of information about everyday life of the crusades.
