Rhodes is one of the showpiece Greek islands, with an exquisitely preserved medieval city that was the legacy of the crusading Knights of St John, based here from 1309-1522. The largest of the Dodecanese Islands, it is blessed not only with historical riches, but with lovely beaches and a charming port town in Lindos.
Explore the medieval city of Rhodes, including the Street of the Knights, the Grand Master’s Palace and the hospital of St John, now a museum. Take a day trip to Kos, the birthplace of Hippocrates, and visit Lindos, stopping on the way at Butterfly Valley, a cool, green retreat for thousands of butterflies. Explore the old town of Lindos, with the option to visit the Acropolis, with lunch and the afternoon at your own pace. There is ample time at leisure to relax on the beach, absorb the atmosphere of the historic old towns or while away an hour at one of the inviting local cafes or tavernas.
This tour will delve into the rich history and culture of Rhodes and Kos, with many opportunities to enjoy the wonderful cuisine and wine of the region.
