Take this wonderful opportunity to enjoy a leisurely panoramic drive by motorcoach on the island of Rhodes.
Leaving the pier, you'll pass the city walls of the old medieval Rhodes Town — a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Watch for the New Market Building and enjoy a photo stop at Mandraki if parking is available. You will pass the aquarium and head to the top of Mount Smith for a view over the town of Rhodes, the castle, the coast of Turkey, and the nearby islands.
Your first stop will be at a pottery workshop to watch a demonstration of how local ceramics are created.
En route to the Lindos area, you'll stop to photograph the panoramic view of St Paul's Bay and the ancient theatre. From the promontory, you can see, in the distance, the ancient Acropolis of Lindos. According to Homer in The Iliad, the Acropolis was built by the Dorians, as were the cities of Kamiros and Ialyssos. These cities exercised considerable maritime power in ancient times.
The village of Lindos, with its 1,000 inhabitants, lies below the Acropolis. You will pass through it and stop at Faliraki Beach. Like the Greeks, you will enjoy a coffee or refreshment at a waterfront restaurant, returning to Rhodes Town afterwards.
Notes:
Tour consists mainly of sightseeing from the transportation. Stops (if any) are brief, and participants can remain on the transportation. Participants must be able to climb a few steps unassisted to board the transportation. Tour requires approximately 90 yards of walking.
