About this tour
This session covers Ancient Kamiros, an excavated Doric city on the island's west coast with its street grid still clearly visible. Rodanthi walks the main street before climbing to the hilltop temple at the top of the site. She explains how the city was abandoned gradually rather than destroyed suddenly, which is part of why its layout survived so well.
Rodanthi checks her connection at the base of the site before walking the main street slowly, pointing out house foundations and a public cistern along the way. She answers questions about daily life in the ancient city as she climbs toward the temple. A short list of what was seen follows the call.
This suits travellers interested in ancient urban planning who want to see a complete layout rather than isolated ruins. It also works well as a quieter alternative to the busier sites in Rhodes Town.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide
- Questions to your guide all the way
