Activity 1 – City Cycling

First  activity of this package will be the cycling part! Exploring this charming area, may be too tiring on foot, and too crowded when taking a bus.

Explore by bike the unforgettable town of Rhodes with its monumental Castle, medieval atmosphere and the vivid ports around it. On our tour we will visit, the Acropolis on Monte Smith, the medieval Walls around the Old Town, Mandraki Port, the Aquarium and the Grand Master Palace. (Route length 22km – Actual cycling time 2.30 hours – Total duration 4 hours). Meeting point

Activity 2 – Sea Kayaking

Today we set off for our paddling day. We will paddle close to famous bays, swim in turquoise waters, discover hidden caves and feel like real explorers! As we will start paddling away from shore into the sea and along the east-southeast coast of Rhodes, your guide will share important facts of the past.

Enjoy panoramic views of beautiful islets and stunning rock formations before venturing into hidden sea caves along the coast. We will even have the option to swim and snorkel in the clear blue waters of Anthony Quinn’s Bay. Once arrived at Traounou beach we can relax and rejuvenate our energy with refreshments and a nutritious traditional greek pic nic lunch. We will spend approximately two and a half hours paddling along Rhodes’ coastline on this unforgettable journey (6 N.Miles, Actual paddling time 2,5 hours – Total Duration 5 hours). Afterwards, transfer to hotel.

Activity 3 – Hiking

Hiking time today, and we set off for the north west part of Rhodes, towards the town of Ialysos. Best time for this short hike, is the afternoon, so we strongly suggest a departure at 17.30 approx (depending on the time of the year). With this hike we will conquer Filerimos Hill and get rewarded by the history and the fantastic views. We will start at the bottom of Filerimos Hill after some introductory info about the area by the expert hiking guide.

This hike is easy and ascends slowly the hill through trails and pathways between giant maple and pine trees. When to the top, after a short break and a traditional snack from Rhodes, you will have the chance to visit the Acropolis of Ialysos – one of the three dominating cities of Ancient Rhodes – and also take a worthy picture of the monumental cross that waits for you after a picturesque walk between cypress trees. The views offered are almost 360 degrees to Rhodes and the nearby islands – even Turkey. At sunset time, the way downhill is even more charming due to the warm colors of the sky! (4 km, Actual hiking time 1:30 hours, Total Duration 3 hours). Afterwards, transfer to hotel.
