Additional Information

Dimitris views Rhodes as Greece’s scenic gem. He narrates, ‘At close proximity to a magnificent sandy shore lies Lindos, subtly hidden within surrounding hills that safeguarded it from pirate invasions. Amidst quaint sugar-cube houses rises the impressive Acropolis and the Temple of Athena.’ This spectacular panorama can be admired during a coffee break at a local family-owned café. Accompany your guide up the Acropolis as they animate the ancient myths and legends whilst overlooking the breathtaking St Paul’s Bay. To conclude the trip, we’ll explore the old town Rhodes - a recognized UNESCO World Heritage Site - with a guided stroll. Being a predominantly pedestrian journey, the outing maintains a low carbon footprint. Meander through winding, stone-paved alleys adorned with historical homes and boutique shops, particularly down the Street of the Knights. The highlight of the visit is the Grand Master’s Palace - a 13th-century stronghold initially constructed by the Knights of St John.

Amazing landmarks, and lovely tour guide, however we did have problems - We would recommend to everyone visiting Rhodes to visit Lindos and the Rhodes Medieval City. Incredible architecture and sights. The day started off being collected from our hotel by coach. En route to Lindos we picked up other guests from different hotels. Along the drive, our lovely tourguide (unfortunately we can't remember her name) told us about certain landmarks, and about the history of Rhodes and the religions. Upon arriving at Lindos, we were guided down to the small city, and then to visit the acropolis. In the town, there was a donkey station, so my boyfriend and I decided to take a donkey ride up to the acropolis and to meet the rest of our group up top. This was a lovely addition. Entry to the acropolis cost €12 euro, which we think is a fair price. We were guided around the site, and then given time to explore and take photographs, and told when to meet at the bus. So we were able to also explore the city and buy some souvenirs. The bus then took us to the Medieval town, where we were able to explore and photograph. We had lunch at a lovely restaurant with great views, and shop from the tourist shops there. This is where things became problematic for us. We were given approximately 3 hours in the Rhodes old town from getting off the bus to meeting the bus at the end. In this time we had to have lunch, and sightsee, shop etc. Personally we felt this wasn't long enough and reckon the 2nd half of the tour could do with being an hour longer. We were told to arrive at the meeting point at 3:50. We arrived at 3:52 and there was no sign of our tour guide, group or bus. We waited a few minutes, then walked back to where the bus had left us whilst calling the tour providers, and were told to retrace our steps. Again, no sign of the group or bus. We called the providers again, and were told that the bus had departed without us, and that we would have to make our own way back to our hotel, costing us an additional €35 euros in a Taxi. We felt this could have been handled better: - the group should have given a 10 min time window before the bus departed - we should have had some way to contact our tourguide and not just the provider - as mentioned previously, we feel the second half of the tour would benefit from being an hour longer seeing as we had to factor in lunch. No criticism to the lady who guided us as she was nothing but lovely and knowledgeable and recommended us where to find lunch!
