Our Medieval Town Walking & Food Tour is more than just a food experience; it’s also a chance to explore Rhodes’s rich past while enjoying its various flavors.
Rhodes has been home to many different cultures, which have influenced the island’s food and traditions. This walking food tour is all about diving into both—wandering through the medieval city, visiting the iconic Palace of the Grand Master of the Knights of Rhodes, aka Grand Master’s Palace, and tasting some of the best local dishes. You’ll uncover fascinating stories about the island’s history while enjoying authentic Rhodian flavors led by an English-speaking guide.
Food stops
- The day will start with a freshly baked phyllo pie from a family-run bakery before going through the old town’s hidden alleyways.
- Along the way, we’ll stop at traditional coffee houses, local liquor shops, and tucked-away tavernas that most tourists never find. EXAMPLE
- We`ll also step inside a hidden church, where a special cake made just for us awaits.
- The tour experience will be concluded at one of the best meze tavernas on the island, where you’ll enjoy an authentic, home-style Greek meal in true Rhodian fashion.
And you shouldn’t be worried, as there’s plenty of food and drink to keep you going… just come with an empty stomach!
