Rhodes Old Town Self Guided Tour of Sieges and Triumph

2 to 3 hours (approximately)
Offered in: German and 6 more

Six hundred years ago, a one-eyed engineer stood inside these walls and listened for the sound of an empire tunnelling beneath his feet. Suleiman the Magnificent had come for Rhodes with one of the largest armies the world had ever seen, and the fight went underground, in the dark.
That is one story on this self-guided walking tour of Rhodes Old Town, narrated through the Tourific app so you walk at your own pace and listen in your own language.
Along the way, you meet knights who organised themselves by homeland along one medieval street, gates built as defensive machines, a sultan who took the city with unexpected grace, and a synagogue with a wartime rescue you will not forget.
Start whenever you like, pause for coffee, and pick up where you left off. The audio works offline once downloaded.
Over 25,000 travelers have used our self-guided tours, and this Rhodes audio tour comes with a full refund guarantee. Press play at the water and let the story roll.
