All excursions are bookable on the ship
Lindos & Acropolis -
This tour kicks off with a visit to what is arguably one
of the most beautiful villages in Greece – Lindos. Its
well-preserved acropolis and UNESCO status make this a
must-do excursion. As you wander through the quaint,
quiet streets, it’s impossible not to fall in love with
the laid-back pace of life and the postcard-prettiness
that the village is famous for. Narrow lanes are lined
with little white stone houses, which will have you
reaching for your camera every few steps. And it’s a
great place to explore, with the famous acropolis
boasting treasures like the Temple of Athena, the
Byzantine church and the Hellenistic stoa, plus evidence
of fortification by the St John’s Knights. Climb the
Hellenistic staircase to the top of the acropolis and
you’ll be blown away by the panoramic views of the coast
and Lindos town. This tour has got it all - incredible
architecture and breathtaking views. What more could you
ask for? Just so you know… For the visit to the church,
knees and shoulders must be covered.
£35.00 / £20.00 (4hrs)
Rhodes -
This trip is a half day taster of the wonderful city of
Rhodes. First of all, you’ll visit the heart of the town
– the Mandraki harbour and a glistening collection of
luxury yachts. Government buildings from the Italian
era, pretty pavement cafés and colourful boats dominate
the scenery in these parts, so make sure you’ve got your
camera handy. Monte Smith is up next, with the ancient
acropolis of Rhodes-town, the temple of Apollo, the
ancient stadium and the amphitheatre. You’ll drive along
a beautiful road which brings you some fantastic
panoramic views of the Turkish coast. Starting from the
picturesque Porte d’ Amboise, you’ll then enter the old
town by foot, walking past the world famous Street of
the Knights and the Palace of the Knights. Your tour
ends with some free time to reflect on all you’ve seen.
£27.00 / £17.00 (4hrs)
Faliraki Beach -
If you’ve had your fill of sights and just want to hit
the beach, this trip’s ideal. We’ll take you to the
popular resort of Faliraki, which unfolds around a
gorgeous beach south of Rhodes Town. The long sandy
strip comes with the full menu of watersports,
everything from pedaloes and banana boats to waterskiing
and paragliding. Away from the beach, you’ll find plenty
of shops, bars and restaurants to keep you busy when
you’re not stretched out in the sun. It’s a short but
sweet trip that’s not to be missed.
£20.00 / £10.00 (4hrs)
Filerimos & City Tour -
This fantastic tour starts by passing the Mandraki
harbour and its glistening collection of luxury yachts.
Government buildings from the Italian era, pretty
pavement cafés and colourful boats dominate the scenery
in these parts, so make sure you’ve got your camera
handy. Continue with a drive up to Filerimos, a hill
around 12km from Rhodes, which offers up jaw-dropping
views. On reaching the top, you’ll see an outstanding
collection of monuments, including the foundations of
the temple of Athena Polias, an early Christian
basilica, and the small subterranean Byzantine church of
St George. Head to the back of the monastery and you’ll
find the impressive remains of the Byzantine garrison.
From here, a short coach ride will bring you to the
wonderful city of Rhodes. Bathed in warm sunshine, it’s
like a great big treasure trove crammed with
archaeological gems. Passing the Acropolis of Rhodes in
Monte Smith, you’ll drive along a beautiful road which
brings you some fantastic panoramic views of the Turkish
coast. Starting from the picturesque Porte d’ Amboise,
you’ll then enter the old town on foot, walking past the
world famous Street of the Knights for a visit to the
Palace of the Knights. Your tour ends with some free
time to reflect on all you’ve seen over a well-earned
cup of strong Greek coffee. Just so you know… The sights
may be visited in a different order.
£32.00 / £20.00 (4.5hrs)
Rhodes Walking Tour -
Depart from the quayside on foot and walk to the
medieval city centre of Rhodes. Proceed to the Palace of
the Grand Masters. From the outside, your guide will
narrate you the history of the impressive building
dating back to the 14th century. Throughout the
centuries, the Palace was used as a residence for the
Knights of St. John, as a fortress during the Ottoman
occupation, a holiday residence for the Italian kingdom
and finally as a museum. Take a leisurely stroll along
the Knight’s street, a cobbled street lined with the
‘Inns’, 15th and 16th century buildings where the
knights lived, divided according to their respective
nationalities. During your guided walk, you will travel
back in time and be able to still feel the medieval
character of the beautiful and particular corners of the
old town, declared a World Heritage site. At the end of
the tour, you will have free time for shopping at the
bazaar at Socrates Street before return back to the ship
or remain at the city for further exploration and
shopping on your own.
