 Leaving
the harbour area, you will drive along the picturesque eastern
coastline, scattered with white-washed villages, until you reach
Lindos, a drive of approximately 45 minutes. This enchanting
site of the most important of the three great cities of ancient
times is guarded by the medieval walls constructed by the
Knights of St. John in the 13th century. Within stands the
ancient Acropolis of Lindos on the brink of a precipice 400 feet
above sea level. From the Acropolis you will stand in awe with
the breathtaking views of the great expanse of the Pelagos and
St. Paul's Bay, which is where the Apostle himself cast anchor
during his historic voyage to Ephesus.
You
will proceed, on foot, up the great steps leading from the
Hellenistic portico to the Temple of Athena, considered the most
worshipped temple of the Ancient Greek World. After your visit
to the Acropolis there will be some time for shopping in the
myriad of colourful stores that line the narrow streets of the
village.
You
will rejoin the motor coaches and drive back to the town of
Rhodes where you will commence your walking tour of the Old
Medieval City of Rhodes at the Port d'Amboise and stroll through
the Medieval Old City, down through Chevaliers Road and view the
Palace of the Knights of St. John and the medieval houses of the
Knights. Continue on past the Hospital of the Knights of St.
John, before meeting back up with your motor coach at the Marine
Gate. |
