Travel by scenic drive to the hilltop Acropolis of Rhodes, where ancient ruins and weather‑worn columns sit high above the city. Take in sweeping views across the medieval old town and out over the sparkling Aegean Sea as your guide brings the site’s fascinating past to life.

Next, escape into the calm and cool of the Valley of the Butterflies, a true natural haven. Follow shaded paths alongside gentle waterfalls and rock pools, surrounded by oriental sweetgum trees that attract thousands of butterflies in season. It’s a peaceful and refreshing contrast to the historic sights of the city.

Step back in time as you explore Rhodes Old Town on a guided walk, following in the footsteps of the Knights of St John through its medieval streets. Visit the impressive Palace of the Grand Master, home to magnificent artefacts and colourful mosaics, before enjoying free time in lively Museum Square – ideal for browsing local shops or soaking up the atmosphere.

At the end of the tour, you can choose to return directly to your ship or stay on in town and make your own way back later, allowing you to extend your time in Rhodes at your own pace.
