Tour description
The old town of Rhodes is the largest and best-preserved medieval walled city in Europe, a UNESCO World Heritage site built by the Knights of St. John and layered with ancient Greek, Roman and Ottoman history. Within its mighty walls lies a maze of cobbled lanes and grand monuments. On this walking tour a local guide reveals its legends.
You will wander the famous Street of the Knights, stand before the Palace of the Grand Master, and hear about the Colossus of Rhodes and the great siege. Along the way you will discover the many cultures that ruled the island. Atmospheric and historic, Rhodes is a wonderful city to explore on foot.
