Wind through lamplit medieval lanes tasting Rhodian wine, mezze, and local pastries curated by a culinary insider. The old town transforms at dusk — and so does the flavour of every bite when eaten in an Ottoman hammam courtyard or a Knights-era taverna.
What to expect
Your private local host leads you through the Jewish Quarter, the Ottoman bazaar, and the Knights' hospital quarter as evening light turns the sandstone walls amber. Stops include a family-run deli for Rhodian honey and thyme-cured olives, a tucked-away wine bar pouring indigenous Athiri and Mandilaria varietals, and a centuries-old bakery for loukoumades (honey doughnuts). The host weaves the history of each neighbourhood into every bite — the Sephardic Jewish community, the Ottoman spice traders, the Italian Art Deco overlay. The evening ends with a private mezze spread at a torchlit courtyard restaurant.
Good to know
An evening excursion — ideal if your ship overnights in Rhodes or has a late all-aboard. Confirm the all-aboard time carefully. Book 1–2 weeks in advance via Withlocals for a fully private experience. Dietary requirements accommodated on request.
