Transport
Rhodos Stad is een interessant stadje, dat is overwoekerd door op toeristen gerichte winkeltjes, maar die ook een heel levendig beeld opleveren. Echter de reis vanuit Sarigerme via Fethiye is absoluut totaal af te raden, want duurt absurd lang. Anderhalf uur met de bus, een uur douane en wachten in Fethiye, dan twee uur met de boot (en om half vier in omgekeerde richting) staan in geen enkele verhouding tot de vier uur die je in Rhodos Stad ter beschikking hebt.
You can add another stamp to your passport on this day trip, as you trade Turkey for Greece on a short hop across the Aegean Sea to the island of Rhodes.
You'll be welcomed at Fethiye port and guided straight to the priority boarding area. Then, jump on board a catamaran for a cruise across to Rhodes town. Here, you can explore the capital's pretty harbour, walled old quarter and upmarket New Town. You'll spend the morning ticking off sights like the charming Street of the Knights and the huge Palace of the Grand Masters. Make your way along the maze of cobbled streets, where you'll be surrounded by fountains, medieval churches and shops selling handmade goods and Greek delicacies.
Speaking of food, you'll have a choice of hidden bistros or bustling waterfront bars for lunch. Later, you can head to Mandraki harbour. It was once home to the legendary Colossus of Rhodes – one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. And if you fancy seeing more of the island, hop on the land train, which takes you up to the ancient Olympic ruins and offers sweeping views across the sea.
