Tour: Lindos Village - Acropolis is Calling Your Name ( 7hrs)
Welcome to the enchanting island of Rhodes, a paradise for photography enthusiasts seeking to capture the timeless beauty of Greece. Join us on an unforgettable island tour curated exclusively for photographers, where we will journey through a breathtaking landscape adorned with historical landmarks, natural wonders, and picture-perfect scenes.
Private Excursion Itinerary:
The drive starts with the exposure of the Medieval town where Byzantine, Ottoman and Italian architecture is witnessed. Within the Walls of the town, the Palace of the Grand Master is spotted. We continue to the entrance of the Old Harbour (Mandraki), where according to tradition, the Colossus of Rhodes (one of the seven ancient world wonders) once stood. Close to the entrance of the Old Port is the “Church of Annunciation of the Virgin Mary”, which today is the town’s cathedral church. The Church is styled as a 3 aisled gothic basilica with a wooden roof, amazing gothic wall paintings by Fotis Kontoglou and impressive chandeliers.
ย
Driving towards the northernmost tip of Rhodes, we will see the Aquarium of Rhodes, which is the ideal place for those wishing to get acquainted with the marine wealth of the Aegean and the Eastern Mediterranean Sea.
ย
As we drive up to the Acropolis of Rhodes City, you will have a picturesque panoramic view from Monte Smith Hill. The location was named after Sir Sydney Smith, an English admiral stationed on the hill in 1802 during the war with the Turks to monitor the movements of Napoleonโs fleet. The familiar of the temple of Apollo, the Greek Stadium and the Greek Amphitheatre are then followed to become a knowledgeable resident.
ย
ย
As you have grasped the highlights of the city, you will be transferred to Lindos. This 35-mile drive provides you with a glimpse of beautiful small villages surrounded by gnarled olive trees, a must-phase into becoming a true local!

St. Paul โs Bay is followed, where the apostle is said to have landed in the year 51 AD to preach Christianity to the Rhodians. From this point, you can also view the cave where the film โThe Guns of Navaroneโ was filmed. Scenic! The exposure to the friendly inhabitants of Lindos would ensure you are equipped with the right traits in order to be called a “local”.

This was the next step in his plan to provide tourists with the very best service during their stay on the island of Rhodes. If you are on Rhodes and you need an airport-transfert, a trip by taxi, a well-organized tourist excursion or a day trip adapted to your personal wishes, get in contact with GES Travel Agency.

There may be many drivers offering to provide a tour of the island โ YOU MUST SEEK OUT HANDSOME GEORGE! He is a Rhodes native, speaks perfect English and knows exactly how to plan out any itinerary you desire. He also does an excellent job of explaining the history of the island in an interesting and conversational way. He and his daughter, who we had the opportunity to meet, are lovely and caring people who truly put customer experience above all. We had s wonderful day seeing the sites, stopping for photos (heโs a great photographer) and we ended our private tour at a lovely beach front restaurant. He had already arranged for us to have front row loungers and a personal waiter who escorted us to our chairs. It was an unforgettable experience indeed!

Top noch, 100% would recommend him to my friends and family, personalized the trip and made it a lovely experience. Always on time, supper cleanLauren E2023-08-27Amazing Day We had the most amazing day on our tour of Rhodos! Our driver Vaggelis was clearly passionate about Rhodes, the culture and he told us things we'd never know without a local guide. Van was lovely and modern and we spent the day in luxury travelling to Old town first, then onto some of the best view points ever looking over the North of the island. We continued to Lindos stopping at the most amazing traditional clay pottery. Everything made and painted by hand. It was beautiful. The owner very friendly sharing his home picked and roasted figs. I of course had to purchase some of the beautiful items ๐ St Pauls bay and Lindos are beautiful, but very busy.Vaggelis recommended a place for ice-cream and it didn't disappoint. We had a few hours at our own leisure before heading back to the van. When headed to Haraki where we had the most beautiful lunch at Agro. Fresh caught red snapper was beautiful. We swam in the bay before back to the van heading back towards the resort stopping off at Kalithea springs which was gorgeous. Honestly believe this is the best way to see the island and hear all about the history of this beautiful place. Would not hesitate to book again when we return to Rhodes. Evi was lovely and made the booking process easy, she genuinely cared we had a good day checking in with us afterwards. Lovely family run company โค๏ธ
