Cities of Knights for a Day

From $95

Head through history visiting areas that still remain long after knights and empires have fallen.

Soar through centuries with a drive up to Filerimos to visit a medieval hilltop monastery overlooking the stunning landscape, then to the tip of Monte Smith, where remnants of the 5th century BCE Acropolis of Rhodes still exist. In Old Town, your guide will take you to visit the stunning Palace of the Grand Masters — prime medieval knight territory. Here you’ll wander Knights Street, passing the inns where they stayed between tours of conquering land for their kingdoms.

If you fail to either (a) cancel within 48 hours of the booked Shore Thing (or alternative time period as may be stated in a specific Shore Thing 'Need to Know' section), or (b) show up for a booked Shore Thing, you will be charged for 100% of the Shore Thing price.

If you make a cancellation prior to the first day of your voyage and within 48 hours (unless otherwise stated in the tour details) of your Shore Thing, you will be refunded to the original form of payment after midnight Eastern Standard Time (EST) on the day of cancellation.

If you make another purchase prior to midnight EST, after canceling a booking eligible for a refund, the credit from the canceled booking will be applied to your new booking.
