Enjoy a panoramic view of the old town, passing by the impressive battlements of the Medieval town of Rhodes with a brief stop at Mount Smith, offering a splendid panorama of the city of Rhodes.
Arriving at D'Amboise Gate, you will start your guided stroll through the Medieval town and discover the places of worship that influenced the island's history.
Your expert Theology guide will introduce you to the many religions and denominations that coexisted peacefully in this historically rich town. Visit the Ibrahim Mosque, Kahal Shalom, the oldest Jewish synagogue in Greece, St. Francis or Santa Maria and finally the Orthodox Church of St. Fanourios.
At the end of the tour, relax at a cafe and enjoy a local sweet and refreshment as you reflect and discuss on the island’s religious past.
