About this quest

Rhodes Old Town is one of the best-preserved medieval towns in Europe, and in 1522 it fell to Suleiman the Magnificent after a six-month siege. Was it betrayed? 

Follow the ghost of a knight of St John on a self-guided puzzle walk. At 11 stops you crack riddles, anagrams and logic puzzles and collect real evidence against the man the knights executed for treason. 

On the way: a dragon legend, a lightning strike that blew up a palace, and a goddess. The history is real. Only the ghost is made up.

Is this for you?

Who it's for

Families with older children, couples and friends who like escape-room games get riddles, anagrams and logic puzzles at 11 stops, plus real evidence from the 1522 siege, in about an hour and a half on foot. History fans and cruise passengers can start whenever they like. Anyone hoping to quiz a live guide about the Knights should book a guided tour instead.
