What to expect

Easter is one of the most important dates in the Greek calendar. And on this evening out, you can join in on the Good Friday celebrations. We'll pick you up from your hotel and drop you off with your guide at the Gate of St Athanasius to begin the festivities.

First up is a guided walk of Rhodes old town before heading for a traditional meal in a restaurant. Then, you'll visit Agios Fanourios church, where you'll learn the history behind this tiny place of worship.

Next up is the epitaph procession. Here the Epitafios – the icon depicting Christ ready for burial – is carried through town, accompanied by a choir and candle-carrying locals. Hymns are sung and all along the route, people scatter flowers. You'll soon realise why Easter is bigger than Christmas in Greece. It's a really unique experience and quite a sight to behold. After the procession, meet at Kolona harbour for pick-up and return to your hotel.

Lindos Acropolis & Rhodes Old Town Highlights Tour

Few islands in Greece can match the heritage of Rhodes. And this wealth forms the centrepiece of this tour. Discover it all with an expert local guide. Dimitris, one of our guides, says, ‘Lindos was built in the 10th century BC by the Dorians. It's the third-most visited site in all of Greece, which shows just how significant it is.' You'll also enjoy a walking tour of the old town of Rhodes and see the Palace of the Grand Master. Headsets allow direct connection between you and your guide.Dimitris believes Rhodes is blessed with some of the best scenery in Greece. He says, ‘Lindos lies near a fantastic sandy beach, surrounded by hills hiding the village, protecting the place from the attacks of the pirates. On top of the small sugar cube houses stands the ancient Acropolis and the Temple of Athena.' You'll get to appreciate these very views during a coffee stop at a typical family-run café. Climb to the mountaintop Acropolis as your guide brings to life the myths and legends of the ancients as you take in views of St Paul's Bay below.Rounding off the day, we'll head to the old town Rhodes – a UNESCO World Heritage Site – for a guided tour. Because so much of the excursion is walking, it reduces the activity's carbon footprint. Wander the winding, cobbled streets, lined with historic houses and boutiques, and walk down the Street of the Knights. The star attraction is the Palace of the Grand Master – an enormous 13th-century fortress originally built by the Knights of St John.
