Relaxed Rhodes
Summary
Poised at the southeastern edge of the Aegean, where Greek, Anatolian, and Levantine worlds have long converged, the sun-warmed island of Rhodes has been a stage for some of antiquity's most compelling dramas, a place where Dorian settlers raised temples to the gods, where Hellenistic city-planners laid out one of the ancient world's most admired urban landscapes, and where the Knights of St. John left a medieval imprint so vivid it seems almost improbable beside the Classical remains. Over six nights, we will move thoughtfully through the island's extraordinary succession of civilisations exploring what each layer reveals about the people who shaped this place and the wider ancient world they inhabited.
What to Expect
- Admire the fabulous collection of statuary at Rhodes Archaeological Museum
- Soak up the stunning views at Lindos stretching across the Aegean towards the Anatolian coast
- Discover ancient Kameiros with its visible street plan of an entire Hellenistic and Roman city, terraced into a quiet hillside.
