About this audio guide
This guide to Fourni Beach in Rhodes turns your attention to the pale rock spur beside the cove, where unnamed burial chambers were cut by hand into the cliff in antiquity, with no signs, no excavation, and no record of who they belonged to. You'll hear how casually visitors can wander into these funerary rooms today, and how the site connects to the six-hundred-year-old castle of Monolithos visible to the south. Step up onto the rocks for a closer look at the carved chambers.
