After a photo stop on Monte Smith Hill with magnificent views of both the New Town and the Old Town, we visit the ancient Rhodes Acropolis, which houses archaeological artifacts dating back to the 3rd century BC. Following visits to the Statue of Apollo and the Ancient Stadium, we take a bus to the Old Town (Old Town) area. The tour of the Old Town will continue on foot. Winding through narrow streets surrounded by historic walls, inside the castle that reflects the shared heritage of the Knights of St. John, Ottomans, and Italians, evoking a sense of time travel, we visit the Knights' Street, Ahmet Ağa Library, Ottoman Madrasa and Hamams, the Grand Master's Palace famous for its statues and mosaics, the Archaeological Museum (formerly a hospital for knights), Mustafa Pasha Mosque, Clock Tower, Turkish School, Cem Sultan House, and Ibrahim Pasha Mosque, all accompanied by our guide. Upon completion of the City Tour at Şadırvan Square, also known as Hippocrates Square, we transfer to the hotel for overnight stay.

After breakfast at the hotel, you may choose to cool off and sunbathe in Rhodes' magnificent sea, or rent a car and embark on a journey into the past on Rhodes, the richest island of the Aegean in terms of history and culture. In the afternoon, it is an ideal time to get lost in the narrow streets of the old town and take photos. Architectural monuments of civilizations that have lived on the island throughout its rich history can be seen everywhere.
