Rhodes Old Town is one of the oldest medieval towns in Europe, a maze of kept ruins and cobbled lanes that was once a vibrant and glorious medieval city. It’s just a dream scene for someone who likes to take pictures! The Old Town of Rhodes is a very inspiring place. The medieval town of Rhodes belongs to the World Heritage and is under protection of UNESCO. It is considered one of the few best preserved medieval cities in Europe. In the 14th century Knights of the Order of St. John conquered the island and started the construction of the fortress. Its walls are still very impressive and draw the attention of every visitor. The Old Town of Rhodes consists of three parts: The central district around the palace of the Grand Mater, the most famous part – Kollakio – the Street of the Knights and the area beyond the walls where lived simple civilians. - Palace of the Grand Master of the Knights of Rhodes
One of the most famous sights in the historical centre. The residence was built by the crusaders. The palace has beautiful collection of mosaics, porcelain and different pieces of decorative art. - Medieval City

I was coming from a cruise ship and felt this tour offered much better and authentic experiences at a better price than the cruise excursions so I did this tour and I am SO glad I did!! It was absolutely amazing!! Our tour guide was super friendly, knowledegable and accomodating, assuring that we got to experience everything as promised!! They even supply you water and a local lunch!! It also was a small group so very much nicer than the larger-group ship tours. This company made my experiences in Rhodes particularly memorable and I would totally use this company in other cities again for sure!! A+++

No questions about this tour, be the first and ask your question.
Level of activity:
Easy: You should expect only enjoyable easy walking without required climbing, jumping or running. Nevertheless, you may need to make a few steps.
Moderate: You should be prepared for a fair amount of walking with going up and down the steps. Sometimes you will need to deal with uneven surfaces like medieval cobblestones.
Intensive: You should be ready for a large amount of walking and/or climbing. We expect you not to be afraid of unpaved and uneven surfaces. Booking this type of tour, be ready for an adventure!
