You'll board an air-conditioned motorcoach at the pier and drive 60 minutes past the Old Town walls that make Rhodes one of the biggest living medieval towns in the world. You'll see Mandraki Harbor where the Colossus of Rhodes-one of the seven wonders of the ancient world-once stood.

Discover the timeless beauty and rejuvenating waters of Kallithea Springs, one of Rhodes' most iconic and historically rich landmarks. Nestled along the island's stunning coastline, this breathtaking site combines natural beauty with fascinating history, offering a perfect blend of culture, relaxation, and breathtaking views.On this guided tour, you'll explore the architectural elegance of the springs, a masterpiece built in the 1920s by Italian architects. The springs are famous for their therapeutic waters, believed to have healing properties since ancient times. You'll wander through the beautifully restored buildings, marveling at the intricate mosaics, neoclassical design, and ornate columns that transport you back in time.

Afterwards, we'll drive 35 minutes to Palace of the Grand Masters. Its fortress was built in the 14th century to dominate the harbor and town. It was destroyed in 1856 and rebuilt in 1939. Today this impressive palace is still imposing in its majesty. You'll have 60 minutes at this venue. Climb the grand marble staircase up approximately 25 steps to the upper floor where you can take in a panoramic view of the city. The palace is home to an unrivaled collection of ancient mosaics from the neighboring island of Kos.

From the palace, we'll head to Rhodes Old Town for a 40-minute guided walking tour of the walled medieval city, which takes you along pebble-paved lanes past impressive medieval structures, each recalling the Knights of St. John. Hear the stories as your knowledgeable guide takes you down the Street of Knights, one of the oldest existing streets on Rhodes-since 408 B.C. Afterwards, you'll have 40 minutes of free time before returning to the pier.
