Overview

Spend time away from the cruise ships at Rhodes Port, and head out to see the island’s highlights on a 4.5-hour private shore excursion! Travel with a private guide around Rhodes, visiting the Acropolis of Rhodes, Filerimos village and the island’s UNESCO-listed Old Town. Hear of Rhodes’ Hellenistic history, and then finish with a tour of the Palace of the Grand Master of the Knights of Rhodes – a monument as majestic as its name suggests.

What you will do

  • Church of Our Lady of Filerimos

    Mt. Filerimos, just outside the capital Rhodes (15km), is a hill 267m. high, overlooking the small town of Ialyssos and the bay of Ixia and Trianda. From its top you can enjoy a panoramic view of the Aegean with turquoise waters near the shore and deep blue as it stretches toward coast of the Asia Minor. A winding road leads to the top of the hill where, in relatively wide plateau, the Monastery of Filerimos is located. This place is also an important archeological site; here once stood the Acropolis of the ancient town of Ialyssos with an important temple dedicated to Athena Polias.

It will be a pleasure to stroll the Street of the Knights with its medieval buildings, winding alleys, towers, turrets and emblazons facades.
