What to expect

Embark on an intriguing journey through Rhodes' rich Jewish heritage. Start your exploration in La Juderia, the historic Jewish Quarter. Here, narrow cobbled lanes echo tales of Sephardic Jews who found refuge here following their expulsion from Spain in the 15th century. Your guide will regale you with stories of the flourishing community, distinctive traditions, and architecture that characterized this lively neighbourhood.

Next, visit the Kahal Shalom Synagogue, one of Europe’s oldest active synagogues, hailing from the late 16th century. Be awed by its magnificent interior, adorned with intricate decorations and treasured religious artifacts, as your guide underscores its endurance throughout Rhodes’ tumultuous history.

Proceed to the Jewish Museum of Rhodes, which houses an impressive collection of artifacts and photographs documenting Jewish life on the island. With your guide's comprehensive explanations, gain a deeper understanding of the cultural and religious legacy of this community.
