What would life be without a bit of adventure?

To all the adventurous spirits out there, this is your last call to visit Rhodes and enjoy adrenaline-pumping experiences that will definitely increase your heartbeat. We are really trying, but we can’t think of anything that this island misses out on. From rich history to cultural heritage, long-lasting traditions, pristine beaches and sublime gastronomy, Rhodes is waiting for travellers to explore it from one end to the other! Rhodes not only caters to those who seek tranquil holidays and peace of mind but also those who wish to make their holidays more interesting with adventure activities, water sports or hiking in the mountains. Follow along with this blog and you will be amazed by how much Rhodes has to offer to thrill-seekers and nature-lovers alike. 

 

Get your kayak and paddle down the East Coast of Rhodes. A fascinating world will unfold before your eyes! Dive into the crystal-clear Mediterranean waters of Rhodes straight from your kayak and admire the great views up close! Alternatively, you can explore the sea caves of the East side of the island and be stunned by the amazing natural creations. There are kayaking tours to many lovely destinations, such as Lindos and Simi, as well as the most popular beaches of the island (Traounou Beach, Ladiko Bay, Massari Beach.) So, you are really spoiled for choice! Another option is to snorkel and explore life underwater! Τhe famous Anthony Quinn’s Bay is great for cliff jumping and of outstanding beauty. You may have seen it in the classic film “The Guns of Navarone”.

 

So far so good! No tour, though, is ever complete without tasty food to keep you going. Therefore, do not miss the chance to enjoy a homemade picnic and taste Greek local products!

Nestled inside the area of the artificial lake of Apolakkia, it is the perfect place not only  for those who seek tranquility but those willing to do the most fun adventure activities. The lake was initially constructed for irrigation purposes but soon became a wetland area for leisurely pursuits. Today, visitors can choose from archery, kayaking, SUP, zip-lining, kids climbing and paddle bike or try a unique aerial experience over the lake with a flying fox. All activities are suitable for both kids and adults and are a great way to challenge yourselves while discovering new skills!

 

*Friendly reminder: The whole area is protected by the European Union (Natura 2000), so it is important that travellers show the required respect for the natural environment and behave mindfully. 

 

 

A great spot for mountain lovers would be Monolithos Village! Rocky and picturesque, on top of Mount Akramitis, it offers an incomparable sense of freedom and connection with nature! Lying 3km outside of town stands the 15th-century Monolithos Castle, the most alluring part of the area! It stands 236 meters above sea level on a volcanic rock.

 

*Wink wink: magnificent sunset views await you!

This excursion offers everything to those with a historical interest and those who want to drink in the views! See the ancient fortification ruins, while soaking magnificent natural landscapes and the lush vegetation with coniferous fir and pine trees. If you wish, you can go on to explore Siana, Embonas and Profitis Ilias which also offer splendid vistas!

 

For the brave ones who want to reach the highest peaks and feel like they’ve conquered the world, hiking up Attavyros Mountain is the perfect excursion! At 1215 meters, it is the tallest mountain in the island from which you can breathe in the fresh air, as well as the stunning beauty of Rhodes. The mountain is a Natural Heritage Site protected by Natura 2000, hosting rich and diverse fauna and flora! Visitors can discover rare plant species, such as the paeonia Rhodian & orchids, as well as prominent animals of the area, like deer, the Rhodian badger, foxes, hares, hedgehogs and numerous wild birds, including partridges.

At the top of the mountain, the main sights include the ruins of the Zeus Temple and a watchtower.
