Take the chance to visit Lindos, the site of the major shrine on Rhodes in classical times. It has everything one might expect from a Greek island town: a stunning setting, picturesque white houses clustered around a bay, sun-bleached ruins and a crystal-clear sea. While here, perhaps climb up to the acropolis, perched on a cliff 300 metres above two small bays (entrance not included). Many movies have been filmed in this dramatic setting, including scenes from The Guns of Navarone. Later, make a brief stop in the traditional village of Archangelos, which is renowned for its production of ceramics.

Day 2 Rhodes town
Rhodes Town was founded in 408 BC and has a fascinating history, which you can discover on an included excursion today.
Said to be the oldest inhabited medieval town in Europe, many of the historic buildings in the old town were built in the 14th and 15th centuries, whilst the new town features much Italianate architecture. You'll see the mighty walls and grand gates which encircle the town, and stroll along the long, cobbled 'Street of the Knights' where, in the 16th century, knights and visiting dignitaries could find a home-from-home and speak their native language in the Inns of the Tongues.

Spend the next three nights at the 4-star Crithoni's Paradise (3Q). The hotel is located a short distance from the beach and facilities include a restaurant, bar, gym and sauna. All 132 air-conditioned rooms are equipped with a television, telephone, minibar (extra charge) and hairdryer. B, L, D

Day 9 Symi island tour
Today's included boat trip uncovers Symi's heritage which has barely been touched by modernisation. See the sights of one of the smallest of the Dodecanese archipelago which lies very close to Turkey – just six miles away, in fact.
Today you’ll travel from by boat along the east coastline of Symi island to the southern tip and then into the bay of Panormitis. Here we visit the 18th century monastery of Taxiarchis Michael Panaormitis, with a chance to visit the two museums.
The tour continues with a short cruise to the tiny islet of Sesklia where you'll enjoy a barbeque lunch on the beach and if you wish, a swim in the crystal clear water of the bay. B, L, D
Day 10 - 11 Symi
Spend the next two days at leisure. Perhaps you might like to wander around the main town, known as both Yialos and Symi Town. Because of its elegant neoclassical buildings it's been architecturally protected since the 1970s. There is a local bus service around the island. Yialos Harbour offers a range of cafes and restaurants, where you might like to stop for a drink and watch the world go by… B, L, D

When the Italians occupied the island from 1913-43 they built an elaborate spa in Kalithea, an area known for its thermal, therapeutic springs, along with various other Belle Epoch architecture. From here you’ll travel through scenery that may look familiar, as several movies have been filmed in this area, including scenes from the film ‘The Guns of Navarone’. On the cliffs above the town is the ancient acropolis of the city of Rhodes – now a park – where you will have the chance to explore ruins from the theatre, stadium and Temple of Apollo. B, L, D
