A stroll through the narrow streets and a visit to the sponge-diving workshops are must-do experiences. Our next stop is the port of Panormitis, home to the Holy Monastery of Taxiarchis of Panormitis, with its magnificent frescoes, library, the folklore museum inside, and an impressive wood-carved iconostasis. A visit to Panormitis is an experience that seems to exude its own mystical energy. Boarding the ship, arrival in Rhodes, and transfer to your hotel. Overnight stay.
Breakfast at the hotel, then we depart for the remote and famous Kastellorizo. A magical island with many stately examples of Dodecanese architecture built around the sea, leaving a lasting impression on visitors. At the summit, the ruined medieval castle overlooks the islet of Ro to the west of the island. Feel a sense of national pride when you think of the island’s sole resident raising the Greek flag every day. Stroll through the preserved village along the waterfront, past traditional mansions with colorful facades. The boat is the only means of transportation to inaccessible shores and caves, such as the incredibly beautiful Blue Cave, where some lucky visitors spot a seal resting in the cave. Board the ship and return to Rhodes in the late afternoon. Overnight stay.
