Echoes of Rhodes/Island Tour

Whether you are a short-stay traveler in Rhodes or you are just looking for the best excursion to discover all Rhodes Island has to offer in a day then the Full Day Echoes of Rhodes of S Tours is the prime choice. Read here the stops and the exciting schedule of this tour.

First stop is at the romantic Kallithea Springs, the beautiful seaside natural spa built by the Italians. Then we drive through the Mandraki Harbour (Rhodes city) with the impressive buildings and the imposing Medieval Old Town, and up to the Ancient Stadium beneath the temple of Apollo, the Acropolis of Rhodes, with a short stop for breath-taking panoramic photos.

Driving along the west coast, we continue the tour at the ancient city of Kamerios. Houses with atriums, temples, alters and bases of statues are only a few of the remnants of this little “Pompeii” of Rhodes. Kameiros along with Lindos and Ialyssos were the first cities on the island.

Afterwards we arrive at Apollona village where we will visit a small local shop for a tasting of the traditional spirit "Souma" and a visit to the museum (optional). Then, you’ll have some free time for lunch at a traditional Greek tavern, where you can try the amazing Greek "mezedes". As you are fully energized we move up the mountain of Profitis Ilias for a coffee break and a photo stop. Famous for its 2 alpine hotels built in 1929, during the Italian occupation of the Island and the abandoned villa built for Benito Mussolini.

Next stop is the visit to the Fountoukli monastery, one of the most famous monasteries of Rhodes. The tour will end at St Nektarios
