GreeceIsland Tour of Rhodes
This journey offers a unique opportunity to enjoy and explore the amazing island of Rhodes!
Our tour begins at the Church of Saint Tsambika, located on the eastern coast of the island. Here, you’ll be enchanted by myths and legends associated with this famous site, as well as the surrounding beauty.
Next, we’ll stop at the Monolithos Knight’s Castle, where you can take beautiful photos, and then head to the nearby village of Siana. Guests will have the chance to visit the Church of Saint Panteleimon, venerate his miraculous icon, and view his relics. In Siana, you can taste local natural products such as honey, nuts, and souma — a grape-based spirit.
During the day, guests will enjoy lunch at a traditional Greek tavern and sample authentic Greek wines.
As we return along the west coast, we will see the Kritinia Knight’s Castle rising above the sea. Together with the guide, you’ll have the opportunity to climb to the top and admire the breathtaking views of both the sea and countryside.
At the end of this eventful day, we will visit the hill of Filerimos, where guests can walk the Golgotha path featuring engravings that depict the Passion of Christ, and see the 18-meter-high cross with panoramic views of both the west and east sides of Rhodes.
During the high season (from around late June), we will stop at the Butterfly Valley instead of Filerimos Hill. This is one of the island’s most enchanting locations, where thousands of Jersey Tiger moths gather each summer.
The tour lasts about 7 hours.
