Itinerary

Mandraki Harbour

30 min

The Mandraki harbor with its impressive monumental buildings built by the Italians. Mandraki harbor has been a harbor since antiquity. The Knights of Rhodes moored their fleet in this harbor and today it houses modern yachts.

The sculptures of the Rhodian Deer, a stag and a doe, stand on slim columns on either side of the Mandraki Harbor entrance. It is believed that the statue of Colossus once stood here. Today these two charming Rhodian deer sculptures serve as the guardians of the Port.

The Three Windmills were used in the past to grind grains brought from vessels that moored in the harbor of Rhodes. There used to be more windmills, possibly 13 or 14 but now only three remain and they have been extensively renovated offering a great opportunity for instagrammable photos!
Aquarium of Rhodes - Hydrobiological Station

Passing by

The next highlight of our tour is passing in front of the Underwater Marine Aquarium. The aquarium of Rhodes is a research center, aquarium and a museum. It was built in the 1930s, when the island was under the Italian rule and currently functions under the administration of the National Centre of Marine Research. It offers the visitors the chance to visit it another day and have a close up view of the Eastern Mediterranean marine life, giving you the impression of being underwater!40 MINUTES DRIVING ARROUND THE CITY OF RHODES .

The famous Order of the Knights of Saint John of Jerusalem has left an incredible mark on the island and walking around the alleys makes you feel like you can almost hear the hoofbeats of the horses and the history of Rhodes whispering in your ear! The feeling of exploring the medieval streets of Rhodes is almost indescribable.
