What To Expect
Join us on Fridays for a shared tour or any other day for a private tour.
The hike begins in the traditional village of Monolithos, located on the undeveloped western side of Rhodes ascending green slopes shaded by pines & cypress trees, with beautiful views over the Bay of Apollakia.
The trail gradually becomes more demanding as you navigate rocky sections, rewarding you with incredible photo opportunities at every turn. After the most strenuous part of the ascent you’ll stop at the small historic chapel of Agios Ioannis (St John) to enjoy a traditional Greek snack.
From here, the trail continues upward toward the summit. A short rocky scramble marks the final approach & once you reach the top, the views are nothing short of spectacular. From the summit of Akramitis, you’ll enjoy 360-degree panoramic views over both sides of Rhodes, the lake of Apollakia, inland villages, Mount Attaviros, nearby islands such as Halki, Alimia, and Tilos & on clear days even Karpathos and the Turkish coastline.
The descent follows a different route, leading you through a shaded forest of tall pine trees. Thanks to the dense tree cover & breeze, this hike can be enjoyed even during warmer days..
