Afternoon Adventures: Discovering Rhodes Town and Beyond

As the afternoon sun casts long shadows across the landscape, the journey continues with a Half Day Tour that promises to unveil the hidden gems of Rhodes. The tour begins with an exploration of the Old Town of Rhodes, where the medieval walls stand as silent sentinels guarding the secrets of the past. The Kolona Gate, one of the four main entrances, offers a glimpse into the architectural grandeur of a bygone era. As you wander through the narrow streets, the vibrant colors of the local markets and the aroma of freshly baked pastries create a sensory feast.

The tour then takes you to the bustling Rhodes Town, where the modern and the ancient coexist in harmonious juxtaposition. The port area, with its yachts bobbing gently in the harbor, is a testament to the island’s maritime heritage. The fish market, with its lively chatter and the scent of the sea, offers a glimpse into the daily life of the locals. A stop at Monte Smith provides a breathtaking panorama of the island, where the ancient stadium and the Acropolis of Rhodes stand as reminders of the island’s storied past.

Evening Reflections: Embracing the Rhodian Spirit

As the sun begins its descent, painting the sky in hues of orange and pink, the day draws to a close with a visit to Kallithea Springs. This idyllic spot, nestled among lush greenery, offers a tranquil retreat where you can unwind and reflect on the day’s adventures. The Italian spa center, with its elegant architecture, adds a touch of sophistication to the serene surroundings.

The journey culminates in the village of Lindos, where the Acropolis, bathed in the soft glow of the setting sun, stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of ancient Greece. As you savor a traditional Greek meal at a local taverna, the flavors of the Mediterranean dance on your palate, and the warm hospitality of the locals envelops you in a comforting embrace. A review from August 2022 encapsulates the spirit of this experience:

Fantastic, comfortable half-day tour - Excellent half-day trip. Rosa took us to Lindos first, before it got too crowded. We arrived at about 10am and headed straight to the Acropolis. We beat the queues and enjoyed looking round. We also loved looking round Lindos town afterwards, and enjoyed a cool drink and a look around the shops. The tour of Kalithea Springs and Rhodes town were also very much enjoyed. Rosa was a lovely, caring guide whose driving is first-rate. We felt safe and comfortable for the whole trip. She also told us lots of facts about Rhodes and her enthusiasm for the island was infectious! Highly recommended! (Reviewed at: 2022-08-05)
