Rhodes, Greece

Mt. Filerimos & Palace of the Grand Master

From Mountains to Sea: Two Spectacular Cities See the magnificent city of Rhodes from a historic mountaintop and from the intimacy of its medieval streets. You will meet your guide at our berth for a short drive to the summit of Mt. Filerimos. Here, you will have time to explore the ancient city of Ialyssos. Admire the Church of our Lady, built by the Knights of St. John during the 15th century, and the Church of St. George, with its impressive wall paintings of the 14th and 15th centuries. Return to the Old Town of Rhodes, where you continue your tour by foot through narrow, cobblestone streets. Follow the Street of the Knights past colorful shops and the 15th-century Hospital of the Knights to the colossal Palace of the Grand Master, built during the 14th century. Marvel at its opulent interior, including frescos-adorned walls and the mosaic-tiled floors. After your visit, you will return to your awaiting ship. * Moderate - Walking portions may be long and somewhat challenging with occasional step-ups, stairs and inclines.
