Rhodes - The Jewish Aspect

We were a small group of four on this private tour with Nikos. He's a terrific guide and an archeologist as well.

Nikos is very knowledgeable about the history of Rhodes and its Jewish community. We learned about the impact of the Shoah on the community and visited the synagogue and saw where the community had lived. We also visited the Grand Master's Palace which is an eclectic rebuilt palace with amazing artifacts brought there from neighboring islands.

I highly recommend this tour and Nikos.

My wife’s family was originally from Rhodes and we wanted a very specific tour of the old city and especially the Jewish quarters. Our guide Nikos was outstanding, his knowledge of the Jewish community as well as the community at large really brings you thru the centuries as he tells the tales of Rhodes - I highly recommend him and this tour- thank you Nikos
An Unforgettable Tour of Rhodes' Ancient History

My family and I took a tour of the Rhodes Town Jewish Quarter and Grand Master's Palace in April 2022. Our guide Nikos took us on an unforgettable tour through the centuries explaining to us in great detail the history of these two significant episodes in Rhodes' history. Nikos is a superb guide whose knowledge was only surpassed by his patience when answering our endless questions. We had a wonderful tour and highly recommend Rhodes Experience for their efficiency and professionalism.
