The Island of Rhodes is of great historical importance, being the site of the Colossus of Rhodes, one of the seven wonders of the world. It is the largest of the Dodecanese Islands and offers a perfect starting point for cruising around the Dodecanese Islands or the nearby coast of Turkey.
The town of Rhodes itself is dominated by the Palace of the Grand Master, built after the end of the Byzantine Era around 1310. Our base in Mandraki harbour is a leisurely stroll away from the Palace and the old town of Rhodes.
