What it's like
The Acropolis of Rhodes is an ancient site featured in the city's publications. It shows the artistic and architectural achievements of an ancient civilization, and it stands in the city of Rhodes rather than out in the countryside.
A visit is a walk up through the ruins on a steep climb with no handrails, so take your time on the stones. Bus line 5 runs up to the site from Rhodes town, and taxis and tours also serve it.
Good to know
- The climb is steep and there are no handrails, so wear sturdy shoes and go slowly on the stones.
- The site is not accessible for limited mobility, so guests with mobility needs should plan around the steep climb.
- Buses are often very full and late, so move backwards along the bus to make room and leave margin for the return trip.
- Taxis are dark blue with white roofs, and within Rhodes city limits shared or street-hailed taxis have fixed rates.
