Rhodes' Ancient Wonders: A Shore Excursion from the port

2. Rhodes' Ancient Wonders: A Shore Excursion from the port

With an air-conditioned vehicle, tour guide and lunch included, all you need to worry about is making lifelong memories. The tour starts at Mandraki Harbor, where the legendary Colossus once stood. Admire the St. Nicholas Fortress which towers over the landscape. It is suitable for hotel guests staying in Rhodes Old Town, as well as cruise ship passengers arriving at the Rhodes Port! First we set off to Lindos, one of the world’s most important archeological sites. Travel through the centuries in this melting pot of Ancient Greek, Roman, Byzantine and even Medieval civilizations. See the Acropolis, a historic citadel perched atop a hill, and marvel at the breathtaking views of the Mediterranean Sea. In the serene village of Kalathos, visit a family-owned ceramics workshop and see the ancient traditions of craftsmanship, handed down from one generation to another. Sample exquisite local honey and olive oil, from the family’s own production. Rhodes was the biggest wine exporter in Ancient Greece, and the island’s grapes have been making people tipsy for nearly 3,000 years. As you join the wine tasting and experience the aroma and body of the local varieties, remember that you are not merely tasting wine: you are tasting history. Saving the best for last, finish in the Old Town of Rhodes, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This medieval city, with fortified walls, winding streets, and historic landmarks, transports visitors back in time. Turkish Mosques, Jewish Synagogues, bathhouses and ancient libraries all mingle in a charming town dotted by restaurants, cafes and boutiques. As you board your ship or go back to your hotel, reflect on a day spent in the jewel of the Mediterranean. A place where you breathe in thousands of years of history in the air of the sea. A day you will never forget.

Discovering the old town of Rhodes on a Segway is fun on the one hand and lets you discover the city in less time than would be the case on foot. Unfortunately, our ferry was late, so that we were no longer able to keep the booked appointment on site. Still, it was somehow made possible to do a tour, albeit shortened, which we didn't expect. It was our mistake to book the tour in such a short time. The employees, especially Federica, are lovely people who gently and calmly guided us to the Segway. We then had a wonderful tour that we would highly recommend to everyone! 6 stars!!!!

We had a wonderful time with Popi! It was just the two of us, she made sure we were comfortable and safe all of the time and she was a great tour guide. She went at our pace and we most certainly covered more of the town than we ever would have on foot! It was a nice selection of long stretches and shady streets along with a wonderful bit of speed along the harbour. The short photo stops were also much appreciated! Thank you!

My daughter and I had a segway tour of Rhodes with Popi. It was a great way of exploring the city, we got to see so many interesting landmarks, which would never be possible by foot in 3 hours! We also learnt so many interesting facts. I would highly recommend the activity!

We did Segway tour of old town. Great fun and definitely see a lot more than you would on foot. A great way to spend a few hours and learn about old town. Our guide Fredrika was lovely

Two hour Segway tour was great! Federica was so bubbly and a fun guide! Highly recommend.
