4.Palace of Grand Master Ticket & Rhodes SG audio tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 324 reviews · 1 day · from $30

Visit Rhodes’ Palace of the Grand Master with a dated, timed entry ticket and an English self-guided audio tour of Rhodes town. Inside, see Gothic architecture, Hellenistic and Christian mosaics, artifacts, and grand stairways. The audio tour does not explain the palace itself, so plan your expectations carefully.

“The palace is mostly upstairs and no wheelchair access, which I'd been told it was accessible. It would have been better with an audio guide. We would have paid a tour guide, however they were on strike. Up a very steep hill which was vertically laid stones, so again...not a great wheelchair adventure, although we loved the city itself.”
