En route to Mount Filerimos, enjoy a drive through a densely wooded area of cypress trees, maritime pines and evergreen oaks. Turning inland, the winding road leads to the Plateau of Filerimos -- 1,000 feet above sea level.
Visit the Church of Our Lady, restored by the Knights of St John and used as a stable during the Turkish occupation. See the restored monastery and the barrel-vault Chapel of St George with its 15th-century frescoes.
Returning to the Old Town of Rhodes, walk with your guide to visit the Street of the Knights and the Palace of the Grand Masters. The fortress here dominates the town. It was destroyed in 1856 and rebuilt in 1929 by the Italians.
Guests who wish to stay in town to shop or explore independently are welcome to do so, but must make their own way back to the ship.
Notes:
Wear comfortable walking shoes.
Use of an audio headset (included) will enhance your tour experience.
