At 8:00 A.M. you will arrive at the Island of Rhodes, known as the "Island of Roses". The capital of Rhodes has modern and medieval overtones. Upon entering the yacht harbor (Mandraki), the most picturesque of the three ports of the city, one is welcomed by two bronze deer, which have become the modern emblem of the town. Visit the New Market (Nea Agora), a polygonal building with an internal courtyard, the Archbishop's Palace, and the Evangelismos (Annunciation) Church. Look out for the famous Rhodian umbrellas, available in a variety of shapes and colors in most of the souvenir shops. The medieval section is fortified within the walls that once protected the city. Enjoy a fascinating walk along the cobblestone lanes and through the arches and vaults of the 15th-century buildings. Visit the Archaeological Museum which is housed in the building of the Knight's Hospital. On display are collections of coins, pots, and sculptures from the Mycenaean up to the Roman era. Also, follow the Knight's Road, which is the official road of the old city, to the Palace of the Grand Masters (the Knights' Palace), the fortress which dominates the old town. Within the old city is a shopper's paradise where one can find leather goods, unique jewelry, and a wide variety of souvenirs. Also, a variety of cafes and restaurants can be found within this town which seems lost in time. Set sail from Rhodes at 7:00 P.M. Overnight at sea.
