1st Day – Arrival in Rhodes<\/strong><\/p>\n

Flight to Rhodes. Private transfer to the hotel.<\/p>\n

\"88\"2nd Day – City tour in Rhodes-Town, Half Day (09.00 – 13.00 hours)<\/strong>
\nEnjoy a relaxing panoramic coach tour through the modern town and the fantastic view from its highest point, the Monte Smith hill, where you will admire the remains of the Acropolis of ancient Rhodes, the Apollo Temple and the Stadium.
\nAfterwards the tour follows the fortification walls of the Old Town and you’ll have the opportunity for unforgettable views over the harbour, the fortifications and the mixture of churches and mosques. You’ll discover the medieval town, which has been declared World Heritage of UNESCO, by foot and suddenly feel transported back to medieval times. Enjoy a guided tour in the Grand Masters’ Palace and have a look at the famous Knights’ Street and the Inns of the Knights, which are dated from the 12th century. These impressive examples of medieval architecture will give you the feeling that you might run into a knight on his horse\u2026
\nYou will definitely fall in love with Rhodes!<\/p>\n

\"22\"3rd Day – Archangelos – Lindos, Full Day (09.00 – 17.00 hours)<\/strong>
\nThe excursion today will lead you along the east coast and is unquestionably a highlight. You will drive through orange plantations to the village of Archangelos, which remains very traditional in spite the large number of visitors. But your main target today will be Lindos, where you will discover the ruins of the Acropolis and its Athena Lindia Temple.
\nThe view which it offers is stunning. You see the small St-Paul’s Harbour and beneath the white village with its narrow small streets. Coming down from the Acropolis, you have the opportunity to visit a church of the 13th century. The inner part has been decorated with beautiful frescos. In the afternoon, you have time for a walk through the village or a swim in the crystal clear waters of the bay of Lindos.<\/p>\n

\"11\"4th Day – Filerimos – Kamiros – Valley of Butterflies, Half Day (09.00 – 13.00 hours)<\/strong>
\nDriving along the west coast, you will finally arrive at the village of Ialyssos (Trianta) and then drive up the hill to Filerimos, where you will discover the ruins of the ancient Acropolis of Ialyssos and the monastery. You should follow the “Cross Way” in the shade of the high trees until the big white cross on the other end of the hill, from which the view over the plain of Trianta and the airport is absolutely superb.<\/p>\n

Additionally you will be impressed by the Valley of butterflies, a beautiful green valley in the middle of woods, which is crossed by rivers and wooden bridges. From July to September, the valley is filled with thousands of butterflies. But the whole year round this natural site is magic.<\/p>\n

The ancient city of Kamiros is an important archaeological site of Greece, where you will find ruins of buildings and monuments of the Hellenistic period.<\/p>\n

\"44\"5th Day – Boat trip to Symi and Panormitis, Full Day (08.00 – 18.00 hours)<\/strong>
\nThe small island Symi is situated northern from Rhodes and is an incredibly picturesque island. After a two-hour trip along the Turkish coast, you will make your first acquaintance with Symi in the beautiful harbour Ialos. A small walk through the narrow streets of the village will let you discover the small houses, all painted in different colours. Symi has also been for many years a well-known sponge island. You’ll have the opportunity to buy a natural sponge for your bath.
\nThe boat will then bring you on another one-hour trip to the other side of the island, where the monastery PANORMITIS stands over the bay. It is dedicated to the Archangel Michael and is an important pilgrimage place for Greeks.
\nSymi will charm you and will never leave your memory!<\/p>\n

\"55\"6th Day – Island tour with Monolithos, Full Day (09.00 – 17.00 hours)<\/strong>
\nThe tour today will bring you to the quiet south and south west of the island. The drive along the west coast will reveal the green side of the island and wild beaches.
\nBut Rhodes also has mountainous landscapes to offer. On the third highest mountain of the island, Profitis Ilias, you will breathe forest air. The largest one of the two hotels, which stand there in the middle of woods and have been built during Italian occupation, has been renovated and is functioning again as a hotel, restaurant and caf\u00e9. From there, the street leads next to the highest mountain (Ataviros), through the village Siana, until Monolithos and is sprinkled with unbelievable panoramic views. But not less stunning is the view from the old Castle of Monolithos (built by the knights) over the islands on the opposite side.
\nOn the way back, it is worth stopping at the small Byzantine church of Agios Nikolaos Fountoukli, which possesses interesting medieval frescos.<\/p>\n

\"33\"7th Day – Morning and afternoon free. Village Party or Dinner in the Old Town\u00a0(18.00 – 22.30 hours)<\/strong>
\nOption 1: At about 18.00 hours starts your drive to the village Pastida or Afantou, where you will have the opportunity to have a look at some traditional Greek houses and the church.
\nAfterwards enjoy a good Greek dinner with an unlimited amount of wine (red or white). During dinner, a dancing group will show you some traditional dances and invite you to dance the Greek “Sirtaki-Dance”. You will enjoy the Greek entertainment!<\/p>\n

Option 2: In case it is your desire, you can have a fantastic dinner within walls and with the ambiance of the Old Town.<\/p>\n
