Stop At: Mandraki Harbour, Platia Eleftherias, Rhodes Town Greece

Mandraki Harbour has been in use since ancient times and was formerly the military port of Rhodes; it was protected from attack by gigantic chains across its narrow mouth and later by the impregnable bulk of the Fort of St Nicholas, built in 1467 and still watching over the marina. Over the centuries the harbor was also a successful and rich trading port but these days its role in Rhodes life is entirely peaceful; a fetching clutch of billionaires’ super-yachts bob in the marina alongside traditional fishing boats and a multitude of tour boats, which depart every day in summer to visit islands off the coast of Rhodes – including Symi and Nisyros – as well as ferrying visitors to local beaches and on diving trips.

We had a fantastic time exploring Rhodes during our cruise, all thanks to our wonderful guide, Ioanna! She was really friendly and knew so much about the place. She showed us some awesome spots that I'm sure we wouldn't have found on our own. The tour was relaxed but very informative, and Ioanna made sure that all of us—8 cruisers and 2 couples from the hotels—were enjoying ourselves. We'd definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Rhodes!

Our tour in Rhodes was really well-organized and well-paced. Our guide, Joanna, did a remarkable job of telling us the history and stories of the places we visited. We learned a lot, and everything we saw had a big influence on us: Lindos, Old Town, a pottery workshop, wine tasting. I can't choose just one as the best experience—you must see and do it all!
