Explore Ancient Rhodes with the History Channel
Journey back to Ancient Greece with this History Channel-inspired tour of Rhodes. Begin with a scenic drive to Lindos, where myth and history intertwine. Picture the Colossus of Rhodes, a bronze statue of Helios, the sun god, once towering 120 feet at the harbor's entrance—one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Though toppled by an earthquake, its legacy endures as a symbol of ancient innovation.
Climb to the Acropolis of Lindos, home to the 4th-century BC Temple of Athena Lindia, or hire a donkey (at your own expense). From the top, enjoy sweeping views of St. Paul’s Bay, where the Apostle preached Christianity in AD 51.
After lunch, explore Rhodes' Old Town through the historic Amboise Gate. Wander medieval streets filled with stories of knights and ancient civilizations.
This excursion reveals the timeless wonders of Ancient Rhodes.
Notes: Tour involves considerable walking on uneven surfaces and many steps. Not recommended for those with mobility issues. Wear comfortable, non-skid walking shoes. Use of an audio headset (included) will enhance your tour experience.
