Customized travel to Rhodes

Why choose Rhodes for your customized trip?

Rhodes, the largest island of the Dodecanese, stands out as a premier destination for tailor-made travel in Greece. This island, with 300 days of sunshine per year, offers an exceptional setting where millennia of history and breathtaking natural beauties are intertwined.

An exceptional historical heritage

Your journey in Rhodes will immerse you in 2,400 years of history. The old town, a World Heritage Site since 1988, is one of the best-preserved medieval ensembles in Europe. Its 14th century walls, built by the Knights of Saint John, enclose over 4 kilometers of winding cobbled streets dotted with palaces, mosques, and Ottoman fountains.

The island also reveals remarkable ancient treasures. The acropolis of Lindos, perched at 116 meters above the Aegean Sea, houses the remains of the Temple of Athena Lindia, dating back to the 4th century BC. This archaeological site offers a stunning view over the horseshoe-shaped bay and the immaculate white village sprawling at its foot.

Our Travel Planners know these iconic sites inside out and will introduce you to lesser-known aspects of Rhodian history. They will guide you to secret places, away from the tourist crowds, for an authentic experience of this historically rich island.

Diverse landscapes between sea and mountain

Rhodes surprises with the diversity of its landscapes across its 1,398 square kilometers. Your tailor-made stay will reveal this exceptional natural wealth. The west coast, battered by the winds, attracts water sports enthusiasts with its pebbly beaches and crystal-clear waters. Conversely, the east coast offers sheltered bays with calm waters, perfect for family swimming.

The interior of the island holds unexpected surprises. The Valley of the Butterflies, located 25 kilometers from the city of Rhodes, is a unique nature reserve where thousands of Panaxia quadripunctaria butterflies thrive from June to September. This lush valley, crossed by a permanent stream, also harbors an exceptional Mediterranean flora with its centennial plane trees and refreshing waterfalls.

Mountain villages like Embonas, nestled at 850 meters altitude on the slopes of Mount Attavyros, immerse you in authentic Greece. This wine-producing village crafts some of the island’s finest wines and offers spectacular views of the Aegean Sea and the neighboring Dodecanese islands.

The must-sees of a tailor-made trip to Rhodes

Rhodes abounds with exceptional sites that deserve a prominent place in your personalized journey. Our Travel Planners have identified the emblematic places not to be missed during your stay in Rhodes.

The old town and its treasures

The old town of Rhodes is the historic heart of the island and one of the most remarkable sites in mainland Greece. This continuously inhabited medieval fortified city houses exceptional monuments along a labyrinth of cobblestone streets.

The Palace of the Grand Masters, rebuilt by Italians in the 1930s, towers over the old town with its imposing towers. This fortress now houses a museum displaying remarkable ancient mosaics and Byzantine art collections. The well-preserved Street of the Knights transports you to the 14th century with its Gothic inns where the different languages of the Order of Saint John once resided.

The Mosque of Suleiman the Magnificent, built in 1522 after the Ottoman conquest, reflects the cultural richness of Rhodes. Its pink minaret offers a striking contrast to the surrounding Gothic architecture. Nearby, the recently restored 16th century Ottoman baths offer an authentic relaxation experience in an exceptional historic setting.

Our Travel Planners organize private tours in the early morning or late afternoon to avoid tourist crowds and allow you to fully appreciate the magic of these history-laden places.
