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.
