Itinerary
| Arrive | Details | Depart | Day 1-3 | Rhodes - Join your tour group at the hotel. | 12:00 | Day 4 | Rhodes - Travel the short distance to the UNESCO-protected medieval city of Rhodes, home to the Knights Hospitaller. A local guide takes us on a walking tour, exploring the gates, towers, squares and churches, as well as the Castle of Knights, encased within a 4km wall. Day 3 is free; you might choose to simply relax and enjoy the hotel’s excellent facilities or perhaps return to the city of Rhodes to enjoy its shady squares and tavernas. There will also be optional tours available. | Day 5 | Rhodes - Symi - Travel by catamaran to Symi, with the rest of the day at leisure. | Day 6 | Symi - Today we enjoy a tour of the island by boat, travelling along the dramatic jagged coastline, continuing south across the island to Panormitis. Here we visit the elaborate 18th-century monastery of Archangel Michael, perhaps one of the most interesting churches on the island. We conclude our tour with a short cruise to the tiny islet of Sesklia, where the Athenians sought refuge from the Spartans during the Peloponnese War. We’ll enjoy a BBQ lunch on the beach, before making our way back, stopping on the way in the beautiful natural bay of St George’s to enjoy the superb scenery and tranquil atmosphere. | Day 7 | Symi - Spend two days at leisure in this picturesque town. | Day 8 | Symi - Leros - We transfer by catamaran to the remote and peaceful island of Leros, adorned with whitewashed villages, fertile valleys and green hills. | Day 9 | Leros - On our tour of the island we visit the Franco-Byzantine fort, which overlooks the capital town of Platanos, and the Byzantine castle on Mount Kasteli. We continue to the picturesque old Greek port of Agia Marina, with its pretty waterfront and old windmill. | Day 10 | Leros - A day at leisure to enjoy your pleasant surroundings. | Day 11 | Leros - Rhodes - We head back to the beginning as we take the catamaran back to Rhodes. The rest of the day is free. | Day 12-14 | Rhodes - Whilst in Rhodes, we’ll visit the picture-postcard village of Lindos in the south of the island overlooked by its acropolis. Then you’re free for the rest of your Greek odyssey - fascinating optional excursions are available to the island’s rural villages and ancient sites. Or simply relax in your surroundings. | Day 15 | Rhodes - Say goodbye to your tour group for your onward travel. | 06:00 |
