Full Day Rhodes Private Tour
You can extend your tour as much as you want. We are very flexible to any change in your program.
We can easily add an extra hour for lunch at traditional Greek tavern or some free time at a beach of your choice. Alternatively, we can arrange a visit to a nice seaside tavern near the sea so that you can combine and enjoy both a fabulous lunch and some beach time.
We can meet you directly at the Airport or at the reception desk of your Hotel, Apartment or private Villa.
If you coming on a cruise we will meet you at the pier, at the correct dock. We are licensed to get into the dockside and our driver will be waiting for you just outside your cruise, holding a paper sign with your name on it.
We will start our tour with a drive around the walls of the Old Town of Rhodes – the biggest inhabited medieval town in Europe. It was built in 1300s from the knights of the order of St. John. The Medieval Town of Rhodes is inscribed in the World Heritage Sites List of UNESCO. This list recognizes the exceptional value of a cultural site so that it may be protected for the benefit of all Humanity.
If you want we can extend the duration of the tour with 1 hour and you can have also some free time to go through the Old town and explore it on your own.
After the Old town, we will continue towards the new part of the town and visit the Mandraki port where once stood the famous Colossus of Rhodes – one of the seven wonders of the Ancient world. The Colossus was a big statue of the god of the sun – Helios and it stood for 56 years when an earthquake destroyed it. We will stop for pictures of the area and you can also enter and see the Church of the Annunciation which is the biggest Orthodox church in the town with very beautiful handmade paintings on the walls and impressive chandeliers.
From there we will pass and see the Northern point of the island where the Aegean sea and Mediterranean sea are meeting each other and then we will stop for a panoramic view of the city from the Monthe Smith Hill.
Next we will visit the Acropolis of Rhodes. You can walk and explore the area and see the Temple of Appolo, the Ancient stadium and Amphitheatre.
From here we will drive 50km on the East coast of the island to the beautiful white village of Lindos. We will pass through many picturesque villages including the resort of Faliraki and Kalithea.
On our way to Lindos, we can also include a stop to a pottery factory where you will be able to see how beautiful ceramics are made. Rhodes has a long history of pottery going back many centuries at least to the time of the ancient cities. Replicas of designs produced in those times are still been manufactured today together with new modern designs in a younger generation. Vivid colors, especially blue, feature strongly as do certain motifs which are uniquely Rodian, the pomegranate flower and the stylized deer.
Before the village of Lindos, we will stop for a panoramic photo and a visit to the picturesque st. Paul’s Bay is also included. This beach is one of the most beautiful on the island with a stunning view.
Then we will leave you at the main entrance of the village and you will have at least one hour to explore the village and to visit its famous Acropolis. The Acropolis in Lindos is the second most popular Acropolis in Greece after the Parthenon in Athens.
Next in our program is a lunch in a traditional Greek tavern. You will have some time to relax and taste different local dishes and excellent wines. If you want we can choose a seaside tavern next to the sea so that you can combine both a fabulous lunch and some time on the beach.
From there we will continue our tour on the West Coast of the island and we will first visit Filerimos Hill which was the citadel of the ancient town of Ialysos. You will be able to see the 2 monasteries which are situated there and the 18m high cross.
If you want for the period between the end of June and mid-September we can substitute the stop at Filerimos Hill with the beautiful Butterfly Valley. During this period the valley is full of butterflies. If you want to see both stops – Filerimos hill and Butterfly Valley we will need to extend the duration of the tour with 1 hour
Private Island Taxi Tour
Prior to leaving the UK we looked online for a Company that could offer us a bespoke tour of the Island of Rhodes . We came across ” Rhodes Taxi Tours ” and excellent communications followed together with a list of suggestions from them of places we might like to consider . We booked a tour together with our choosen date and received confirmation from them but no requirement for a deposit as payment ( for the quoted sum ) would be made to the driver at the end of the tour .
On the day prior to our trip I received an e-mail confirming our booking and advising us that our driver would pick us up in our hotels reception the following day at 08.30 .
The following morning our driver arrived spot on time in a lovely airconditioned mercedes and we discussed and altered our itinerary slightly as we had already visited some of the locations . Our driver Nikos Zachariadis was brilliant , nothing was too much trouble and we visited all of the places we had hoped to see .He came up with a load of brilliant suggestions including dropping us at the top of the valley of the butterflies and meeting us at the bottom . This was repeated in Lindos where access into the old town is tricky to say the least !
At the end of the day ( again at our request ) we visited a local Greek Taverna overlooking the sea where we had an amazing sea food meal and there was Nikos waiting to return us to our hotel .
A brilliant day and with the cool oasis of the car between all of our stops .
Well done Nikos and Rhodes Taxi Tours !!
Full Day Private Tour
Our day spent with Nikos was filled with memories from start to finish. We started in old town and finished in Lindos with a climb of the Acropolis. To end the tour we stopped for a Greek lunch at a wonderful restaurant with magnificent views. We selected our fish to be cooked and finished with a delicious fruit and dessert platter. We would highly recommend Rhodes Taxi Tours for anyone looking for a wonderful guided tour of Rhodes.

Excellent!
My husband and I were in Rhodes for only a few days and wanted to see the highlights of the island. We found Rhodes Taxi Tour online, and Elli was very helpful in booking a tour for the following day. We knew it was short notice and didn’t expect to be able to schedule anything, but Elli worked out the details and made it happen. Our driver, Dominic was wonderful! He was shared with us not only the history of the island but the culture and current events as well. He was professional and enjoyable to talk with as he tailored the tour to exactly what we wanted to see and do. Dominic also secured a taxi to the airport for the following morning for us. My husband and I are both so happy we chose to do a private tour of Rhodes and would highly recommend!!
Excellent tour!
We visited the port of Rhodes as a stop on our cruise and had booked a full day tour with Rhodes Taxi. We had the pleasure of having George who took us to see the highlights of the island. We started in Old Town where he was able to drive us through the streets before they closed them to cars at 9 am. We stopped at a harbor then the Acropolis, where George provided us with the history of both. On our way to Lindos, we stopped at a pottery factory where we had a demonstration of a vase made the old fashioned way with a wheel motored by foot. Off to Lindos for a panoramic view and a visit to the old town. We walked up to visit the Acropolis. It was a little rushed as we only had 1 hour to climb up and visit but it was well worth the climb. We then went to a small fishing village where we had a delicious lunch by the water before returning back to Rhodes. We definitely recommend this tour and if we return, we would book with George again. He was very friendly and knowledgeable!
