About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Sirio76290 contributionsBeautiful excursionwe went on this excursion out of tourist season, at the beginning of December, with our guide Elisa. Beautiful place, especially without mass tourism in this period (it was just us, the peacocks and the geese) with plenty of water, following the recent rains (Elisa told us) and a foliage that leaves you speechless. walk from Arcangelos among centuries-old olive trees until reaching the seven springs and back. recommended especially out of season and thanks to our very knowledgeable guide on the history and nature of the island. definitely recommended Hiking Rhodes.Written December 14, 2024
- GDTNM0 contributionsAmazing Hike to Mount Akramitis in Rhodes with Outstanding Service!I cannot recommend this hike enough! We had the pleasure of trekking to the top of Mount Akramitis with our fantastic tour guide, Manuela, and it was an experience we will never forget. Manuela was not only incredibly knowledgeable, but her passion for the history and natural beauty of Rhodes really shone through. She shared fascinating stories and interesting facts about the island along the way, which made the hike even more enriching. Throughout the hike, Manuela was so thoughtful and accommodating, regularly checking in to make sure we were comfortable and doing okay. Her friendly and approachable nature made us feel at ease even during the more challenging parts of the climb. When we reached the summit, she took the most amazing photos of us that we'll treasure forever — the views were stunning, and her photos perfectly captured the moment. Additionally, I can't speak highly enough about the customer service we received from the team. Unfortunately, our luggage had been lost the day before, and when we mentioned this to the company, they went above and beyond to help us. They kindly lent me shoes, a shirt, and even a hair clip so I could enjoy the hike without worrying. Without their exceptional kindness and responsiveness, we would have had to cancel our plans, and we are so grateful that they were there to support us. If you're considering a hike in Rhodes, don't miss Mount Akramitis, and be sure to book with this amazing team. Their excellent service and attention to detail will ensure your experience is truly unforgettable! Thank you, Manuela, and everyone who made this day so special!Written November 12, 2024
- rickpA185MV0 contributionsStunning scenery and viewsAmazing day, a great way to see panoramic views of the island and smaller islands on the west coast and hike with likeminded people. I was concerned about the sun and heat but need not have worried. We started early when it was cooler and it’s a forest trail nearly all the way to the top, so much of the hike was in the shade. Our guides set a comfortable pace, gave us food, water and informed us about mythical, historical, geological and botanical facts. Highly recommended!Written October 12, 2024
- NorthStar489783137960 contributionsExcellent hiking experienceWe did the seven springs hike and it was one of best parts of our holiday so far. Manuela was a fantastic guide. Friendly and so knowledgeable about the history of the island including ancient mythology, the flora and fauna. Her passion for nature and the island as a whole made the hike even more enjoyable. Manuela catered for for the needs of the small group (four people) at all times. We walked through mixed scenery of off road track through olive groves, the seven spring including the tunnel experience, picking our way through dried river beds and beautiful forest scenery. Manuela provided water, snacks and plentiful rest stops tailored to the groups requirements. We had excellent service and communication from Elisa at hiking Rhodes regarding our pick up and what to expect. Something a bit different that truly enhanced our holiday experience. We would not hesitate to recommend and hope to do another hike with Manuela and Elisa in the future.Written September 17, 2024

- handsteven350 contributionsAwesome!Fantastic experience with amazing guide, she told us she had the best job in the world and it shows in her passion for hiking, knowledge and friendliness, we can not fault our guide Manuela, do not come to Rhodes and miss out on one of these hikes especially a sunset one, what price do you put on a sunset view we shared on the mountain?, only one answer, priceless!Written August 30, 2024
- hennas3950 contributionsbeautiful hike with lovely guideWe had an amazing time hiking the butterfly valley with the tour guide Manuela! Views were beautiful and our guide was super sweet and knowledgeable. We got to see a lot of different animals in addition to the butterflies. We would absolutely love to go again sometime in the future.Written August 27, 2024

- Resort2717740 contributionsConnecting with nature - seven springsWe went on 20th May 2024. This trip was such a wonderful adventure and I would thoroughly recommend it. We hiked through olive groves and forests with the most beautiful views across the valleys and hills. Lots of rests and water breaks as well. It was a hot sunny day but there was plenty of shade. Sturdy footwear is a must as there were some gravel and steep climbs in places. But our brilliant guide, Elisa adapted our hike to the level of our small group. There were only 3 other people on our trip with my husband and I and we were all fit and capable so it was more challenging in places for us, which was great. It was mesmerising seeing the turquoise water for the first time and then to stand watching the waterfall. It was heavenly and super refreshing to walk in the cool magical spring water. My feet thanked me!! Thank you so much Elisa it was an absolute joy of a trip being surrounded by nature and you were fabulous company full of knowledge. We hope to return for another trip with you when we are next in Rhodes. H & LWritten June 11, 2024

Our very professional trekking guide Manuela was AMAZING and we got so much value thorough the history of Rhodes as well about the various trekking! The panoramic view on top the mountain was amazing and also the Greek snack! When trekking downhill in pitch black night we could enjoy the stars & the Moon !

- Relax5435370 contributionsThe best hike of our livesFantastic hike up the mountain, through a peaceful valley and finally to the summit. The view was incredible! Our guide was outstanding. She told os about the island and the mountains culture and history and could answer all our questions. The best hike of our lives!Written May 19, 2024
- V3187HPnicholasn0 contributionsGreat hiking experienceThis hiking company is awesome. I highly recommend arranging a hike in Rhodes with them. Incredibly responsive as you plan your trip. We hiked Mount Akrimitis and our guide ( Manuela ) was fabulous. She was very informative about the history of the area and the trees and animals. The cost is very reasonable.Written May 18, 2024
- Nomad650487294050 contributionsBest hike to Kristina castle and beacThe hike started from Kristina village. Meeting Elisa and Maria we started the lovely hike by going down a beautifully road looking towards the rocky beach we were heading at. Though most flowers are already gone at the lower places, we were lucky to see the poppies at full bloom, pink cistus flowers, the mastika trees and much more. The lovely conversation with Elisa and her knowledgeable explanations made the hike even nicer. We reached the hidden rocky beach, where after a short rest we climbed to the Kristina fortress and heard all about the pilgrims who built it. The view was amazing, as well as the climb back to the village. We strongly recommend the tour,and even more so Elisa!Written May 15, 2024
- Tbonetalk0 contributionsBeautiful and challenging terrain made very enjoyable by a first-rate guideManuela was a first-class guide and made the day so enjoyable. The terrain is challenging but beautiful, and Manuela made sure that the pace was just right to enable us to finish with energy to spare - including a very refreshing dip in the sea. I highly recommend this tour - so much so that as soon as I got back to my hotel I immediately signed up for another tour later in my holiday!!Written April 22, 2024

I took part in the hike to Monolithos Castle at sunset.
it was a wonderful experience thanks to the excellent organization of Hiking Rhodes. We were a group of around 10 people, of different nationalities but who immediately bonded in great chats making the experience truly unique. Everything planned to perfection, excellent guide (thank you so much Manuela!!) always ready to explain and tell a thousand anecdotes about Rhodes and its history. In the first part of the walk we were taken to a splendid, solitary and hidden beach, and then went back up towards the castle to enjoy the sunset. Really beautiful, even the snack offered, a small detail that you don't expect, but that you then remember..
Truly recommended experience, when I return to Rhodes I will try another of the proposed tours!

My boyfriend and I did the 11km hike around Monolithos yesterday. Around this area there was no wildfire damage and everything was very safe. Our guide was Manuela, she was absolutely brilliant and very knowledgeable! From start to finish we felt very looked after and the whole hike had a wonderful atmosphere. We walked down to a wild beach and got the chance to swim in the sea, then we walked up and explored around the ruins of Monolithos castle. Manuela made us a beautiful plate of feta cheese and olives with some local bread and wine while we watched the sunset. We had a fantastic time and made some very special memories. We will be sure to book with hiking Rhodes again!

The hike was the highlight of our trip to Rhodos with beautiful views over the sea and the hills. After hiking through a fantastic landscape, we stopped at a beach for a coffee break and finally watched the sunset at a cathedral. I can recommend this trip 100% if you like to be alone in nature, probably meeting some goats :) Our guide Elisa was also fantastic.

This hike was fantastic! You hike your way to a beautiful secluded beach before making your way up to Monolithos castle for an amazing sunset. Manuela is an excellent guide, sharing tons of information about the area as you enjoy this experience. Not to be missed if in Rhodes!

Can't say enough good things about this hike. Manuela picked us up, and we had a lovely drive across the island to a stunning point overlooking a bay and monolithos to our left. Manuela supplied us with plenty of water, snacks, juice, and hiking poles, and off we went. It was a stunning hike through cypress and pine, then in a dry stream bed, a tadge tricky that bit. Unfortunately, on the last stretch the extreme heat overtook my husband, but Manuela had that covered, she gave him restorative electrolytes and made him rest. The rest of the group, including our daughter, were guided onto the beach, and we were able to rest and await Manuela in a safe car accessible point. She picked us up and actually took us to a different beach so I could swim, which was amazing. We were then able to rejoin the others onwards to monolithos Castle. By this point, and because the steps to the castle were not to many, my husband could enjoy the glorious sunset. This was the most beautiful sunset I've seen. Manuela was superb, we enjoyed snacks by the church and it was perfect. Currently the island is experiencing extreme heat, as my husband would normally be fine, but Manuela had this all in hand.

This was absolutely stunning!!! Went way over my expectations, Elisa was our guide and she was so attentive, informative and very friendly. Giving us a bit of history on the hike and also ensuring we were well watered and fed. The views were beautiful, from the forest to the beach to the sunset on the castle. Would 100% recommend this. Such a peaceful place as well as it is not very tourist busy! Thank you Hiking Rhodes!

We had a wonderful trip to the sunset at Monolithos for four hours with our great guide Manuela. Beautiful landscape and very good organisation with stops to drink and eat and some great place at a hidden beach to swim in big Aegean waves. Beautiful sunset at Monolithos castle and many helpful information from Manuela about Rhodes, it’s people and history.
Don’t miss it!

Jeigu atvykstate atostogų į Rodą ir nenorite tik gulėti prie viešbučio, labai rekomenduoju šį žygį. Gyvenantiems aplink Lardos, galimas ir pervežimas nuo viešbučio iki vietos ir atgal.
Kam patinka žmonių nepaliestos vietos, užburiantys gamtos vaizdai, laukiniai paplūdimiai, leiskitės į šią 4 valandų kelionę!
Amazing experience with stunning places! Highly recommended for everyone!
