Depart the pier for the scenic drive by coach through the modern part of Rhodes. As you pass the Mandraki Esplanade, you will see the government buildings, the Church of Annunciation, a replica of the Old Church of the Knights of St John and the deer statues at the entrance of Mandraki Port.
Continue your drive up Mount Smith for panoramic views of Rhodes and the Aegean Sea. Mount Smith houses the Acropolis of Rhodes and the ancient stadium, which was built in the 2nd century BC.
You will then visit a Greek taverna, where you will watch the chef prepare the various Greek dishes of the day. You'll even participate in the preparation of classic dishes such as tzatziki, eggplant salad, mousaka and a few others, picking up some excellent cooking tips from the chef. After the demonstration, relax and enjoy a sample of the dishes you helped prepare.
Re-board the motorcoach for the short drive back to the pier.
Please note: Guests who wish to stay in town to shop or explore independently are welcome to do so, but must make their own way back to the ship.
