Private tour with English speaking driver and air conditioned vehicle including the highlights of Rhodes New and Medieval Town & Lindos Acropolis.Private tour starts in the Old Town; we will walk up through the street of the Knights of St.John of Jerusalem passing the impressively restored Palace of the Grand Masters, the most imposing building of medieval Rhodes. It was originally built in the 14th Century, but demolished by an explosion in 1856. It was restored in 1939, during the Italian occupation. We continue to the entrance of the old harbor where the famous Colossus of Rhodes once stood, and then past the many hotel complexes as we drive up to the Acropolis of Rhodes. From that point you will enjoy an excellent panoramic view. Then we visit the Temple of Apollo, the Greek Stadium and the Greek amphitheater.
We continue our tour to Lindos along the 35-miles of east coast, passing beautiful small villages, with many gnarled olive trees. As we approach Lindos you will first notice the impressive Acropolis with the village situated (like a picture postcard) below. This is a magnificent sight! We drive south of Lindos, to St. Paul’s Bay which is also has a fantastic view. Then we drive to the main square of Lindos so you can visit the village and climb up to the Acropolis. To reach Lindos Acropolis you will be required to climb or ride on a donkey 292 steps. If you wish we can then stop for lunch or even swimming on the sandy beach of Lindos.
On the way back we drive along the coastal road to Faliraki, where a beautiful sandy beach awaits. Upon returning to Rhodes Town, you may choose to be dropped off to your hotel, or your cruise ship, or near the city gates of the Old Town for independent browsing.
*Our English-speaking tour driver has good knowledge of history and culture of Greece and will guide you till you enter sites. Please note that tour drivers cannot escort you inside the archaeological sites and museums.
