DAY 1 (SATURDAY): PORT MEETING - MARMARIS-RHODES CATAMARAN CRUISE - PANORAMIC ISLAND TOUR - NEW CITY - OLD CITY EXCURSIONS - HOTEL CHECK-IN - GREEK NIGHT

We will meet our valued guests at the Marmaris Cruise Port, the departure point for Marmaris-Rhodes cruises, at 8:00 AM (Guests wishing to transfer from Marmaris to the Cruise Port will meet at Eşref Girginç Park at 7:45 AM) and complete our passport procedures. We will take our seats on our catamaran, which departs at 9:15 AM, and depart for Rhodes. After an approximately one-hour journey, we will dock at Rhodes Port, complete our check-in procedures, and disembark on the island. We will take our seats in the vehicle waiting for us in Rhodes and, accompanied by our guide, depart for our first day's city tour.

Our panoramic tour of the island begins with a visit to Mandraki Harbor, Rhodes' main harbor, home to the famous statue of Rhodes, known in ancient times. After visiting the Murat Reis Mosque, we pass Elli Beach, a relatively clean beach despite being close to the city center, and reach the Aquarium District. We then visit the Cretan Neighborhood (Kritika), once home to Turks exiled from Crete. We then visit Monte Smith Hill, where we enjoy stunning views of both the New Town and the Old Town, capturing some beautiful photos. From there, we proceed to the ancient Acropolis of Rhodes, home to archaeological artifacts dating back to the 3rd century BC. After visiting the Apollo Statue and the Ancient Stadium, we continue by bus to the Old Town.

Upon reaching the Old Town, we disembark and enter the historic city walls, where we will continue our walking tour with our guide. Within the castle, which reflects the shared heritage of the Knights of St. John, the Ottomans, and the Italians, evoking a sense of journey through time, we explore structures such as Knights' Avenue, the Ahmet Ağa Library, the Ottoman Madrasa and Baths, the Grand Master's Palace, famous for its sculptures and mosaics, the Archaeological Museum, once a hospital for the Knights, the Mustafa Pasha Mosque, the Clock Tower, the Turkish School, the Cem Sultan House, and the Ibrahim Pasha Mosque. We see the beautiful cafes under the centuries-old trees on Socrates Street, one of the island's liveliest streets, and arrive at Hippocrates Square, also known as Şadırvan Square. This concludes our tour of the Old City and we transfer to our hotel for our overnight stay. (3* ATHENA HOTEL)

After checking into our hotel and relaxing for a while, guests can join the optional Greek Night, accompanied by our guide.

DAY 2 (SUNDAY): HOTEL CHECK-OUT - LINDOS TOUR - RHODES - MARMARIS CATAMARAN CRUISE

After breakfast at our hotel, we check out and begin our Lindos Tour, which is included in the tour package.

LINDOSS TOUR: After meeting our guide, we set off for Lindos, the island's first capital and its most charming, warmest, and wealthiest town. Our first stop on our route is the Kallithea region. Known for its hot springs during the Italian era, the region has long been known for its natural beauty and was the setting for some scenes in the film Zorba, starring Anthony Quinn. After completing our visits in the region, we pass through Faliraki, Rhodes' most famous hotel district, and visit the Tsambika Monastery, a place where childless people throughout Greece go to pray for a child. After learning about the monastery, perched on a hill overlooking the stunning sea, from our guide, we arrive in Lindos town center, visit St. Pavlos Bay, and descend into Lindos Square. With its pristine white houses, narrow streets, and poetic alleys adorned with white slate, Lindos is one of Rhodes' most popular tourist destinations. We offer you free time to explore and enjoy its breathtaking sea. During your free time, we can also enjoy lunch in this area, guided by our guide's information. After a pleasant time, we conclude our visit and return to Rhodes city center to catch our ferry. After completing our passport procedures, we board the ferry, and return to Marmaris. We bid you farewell at the Marmaris Cruise Port and say goodbye, hoping to see you on future excursions.

NOTE: For guests requesting a transfer to the Marmaris Cruise Port, a transfer will be available for departure. Guests requesting a transfer must inform us in advance. There will be no transfer to the city center upon return.
