During the panoramic City Tour, we will visit places such as Mandraki Harbor, the main harbor of Rhodes where the famous Rhodes statue was once located, Murat Reis Mosque, the clean beach of Elli Beach which is quite close to the city center, Akvaryum Region, and Kritika, the neighborhood where Turks exiled from Crete lived together for a time. After a photo break at Monte Smith Hill with a magnificent view of both the New City and the Old City, we visit the ancient Rhodes Acropolis, which contains archaeological artifacts from the 3rd century BC. After visiting the Apollo Statue and the Ancient Stadium, we proceed by bus to the Old Town. The tour of the Old Town will continue as a walking tour. In the narrow streets surrounded by historic walls, we will visit sites that reflect the joint heritage of the Knights of St. John, the Ottomans, and the Italians, evoking a sense of time travel; these include the Street of the Knights, Ahmed Ağa Library, Ottoman Medrese and Baths, the Grand Master’s Palace famous for its statues and mosaics, the Archaeology Museum that used to be a hospital for the knights, Mustafa Pasha Mosque, the Clock Tower, the Turkish School, Cem Sultan House, and Ibrahim Pasha Mosque, guided by our tour leader. The City Tour concludes at the Fountain Square, also known as Hippocrates Square, and then we transfer to the accommodation hotel.
