Explore the authentic side of Rhodes beyond the beaches on a compact guided island tour combining ancient history, medieval landmarks, traditional village life, local wine and beautiful nature.
Your journey begins at Kameiros Skala, where your Finnish- or Dutch-speaking guide introduces you to the fascinating history of ancient Kamiros during a 1-hour guided visit. Discover the remains of one of the ancient cities of Rhodes and learn how people lived, worked and traded on the island thousands of years ago.
Continue to Kritinia Castle, a medieval fortress dramatically positioned above the west coast of Rhodes. Enjoy a photo stop and take in the impressive views over the surrounding countryside and Aegean Sea while your guide explains the importance of the castle and the area's medieval past.
From the castle, continue to the traditional village of Kritinia. Take time to explore the village and learn about local life, traditions and history. You will also have the opportunity to see the village church and discover some of the cultural traditions that have shaped life in the Rhodian countryside.
After exploring Kritinia, enjoy a relaxing coffee stop before continuing through the island's mountain landscapes towards Embonas, one of Rhodes' best-known traditional wine villages.
In Embonas, experience a traditional Rhodian wine tasting and discover the island's long-standing connection with viticulture. Learn about local wine traditions and taste selected wines from the region.
After the wine tasting, enjoy optional free time in Embonas. This is your opportunity to explore the village at your own pace or enjoy an inexpensive traditional lunch at a local establishment. Lunch is optional and is not included in the tour price.
Your final stop is Seven Springs, one of the most refreshing natural areas of Rhodes. Spend approximately 45 minutes exploring the green surroundings, walking beside the springs and enjoying the peaceful atmosphere before concluding the tour.
This tour is designed for travelers who want to see more of Rhodes in a single day without spending the entire day on the road. It combines some of the island's most important historical, cultural and natural highlights with local experiences and plenty of time to enjoy the scenery.
Guided in Finnish and Dutch.
