Ancient Sites & Charming Villages Tour

Begin your day with a pick-up from Rhodes Cruise Port. We’ll make sure you're comfortably settled, and then it’s time to hit the road. Get ready for a memorable day exploring the island's rich history, stunning landscapes, and traditional Greek culture.

Our first stop is the ancient city of Kamiros, one of the three original cities of Rhodes. This historical site offers a fascinating look into life during ancient times. As you walk through the ruins, you’ll see remnants of homes, temples, and a grand agora (marketplace), giving you a deep sense of the city’s once-thriving civilization. The peaceful surroundings make it easy to imagine what life might have been like here over 2,000 years ago. You’ll have plenty of time to explore and soak in the atmosphere of this incredible archaeological site.

After Kamiros, we’ll continue our journey with a scenic drive that takes us past Kritinia Castle and the picturesque Sianna Village. From the road, you’ll be able to admire Kritinia Castle, a medieval fortress that sits atop a hill with stunning views of the coastline and surrounding landscape. The village of Sianna, known for its charming traditional character, also makes for a perfect photo opportunity. You’ll have a chance to capture the beauty of these spots before we move on to the next adventure.

Next, we’ll head to Monolithos Castle, perched dramatically on a cliff overlooking the Aegean Sea. The castle’s location offers breathtaking panoramic views of the island and surrounding waters, making it one of the most scenic spots on Rhodes. As you explore the castle ruins, you’ll be able to enjoy the beauty of the rugged coastline and the serene sea below. This is a perfect spot for taking memorable photos or simply soaking in the spectacular views.

After our castle exploration, it's time to indulge in some traditional Greek cuisine at the highly-rated “Pitropakis” restaurant. Known for its authentic local dishes, this restaurant offers a wide range of Greek specialties like moussaka, souvlaki, fresh seafood, and other mouthwatering options. While your meal is being prepared, take a short walk down to the nearby beach, where you can enjoy a refreshing swim in the crystal-clear waters of the Aegean. This is the perfect opportunity to relax, cool off, and enjoy the natural beauty of the island.

As the day comes to a close, our driver will take you back to cruise port, where you’ll be dropped off. You’ll leave with unforgettable memories of Rhodes’ rich history, stunning vistas, and warm Mediterranean charm.
