Day 2: Cycling in the city of Rhodes and swimming at Elli Beach

Today we will enjoy an exciting cycling tour of the city of Rhodes!

Starting from the seaside promenade and the two main ports, we will discover ancient fortresses, windmills, and the famous statues of the two deer that “guard” the city.

Next, we will enter the magnificent Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, passing through the historic moat that surrounds it. The route ends with a refreshing swim at Elli Beach, famous for its diving platform that promises jumps and endless fun!

The rest of the afternoon is free for relaxation or a stroll around the city.

Day 3: Day trip to Lindos

We will start our day from Mandraki, near our hotel. We will board the boat, and as we set sail, we will admire the Medieval City and the walls of Rhodes. Then, we will have the opportunity to enjoy views of famous bays, such as Anthony Quinn Bay and Tsambika.

There, we will stop for swimming or snorkelling.

A little later, we will arrive in Lindos, the highlight of the day! We will have approximately three hours to walk around the picturesque village, optionally visit the archaeological site of Lindos, and admire the famous Saint Paul’s Bay. Lunch will be served there, giving us time to enjoy the scenery and atmosphere.

In the afternoon, we will board the boat again to return to the city of Rhodes, concluding a day full of sun, sea, and stunning sights.

Day 4: Sea Kayaking at Kathara beach

After a relaxed breakfast and a delicious lunch, we will begin our afternoon with a transfer to Kathara Beach in Faliraki. There, after receiving all the instructions for safe navigation, we will set off paddling along the enchanting eastern coast of Rhodes.

Our sea kayaking tour will take you close to three of the island’s most stunning beaches. Along the way, we will admire the impressive cliffs and the magical colors of the sea, while you will have the opportunity to take a dip directly from your kayak – a truly unique experience!

During the excursion, we will also visit some sea caves and try snorkeling at Traganou Beach, discovering the life beneath the water’s surface. The more "adventurous" can even try cliff jumps for an extra dose of excitement.

The day will conclude with a return to Kathara Beach and a transfer back to the city, full of unforgettable moments and unique experiences.

Day 5: Day trip to Symi island

Today we will visit Symi, the “Princess of the Dodecanese,” known for its colourful houses, lush forests, and cosmopolitan atmosphere.

We will board the boat, with stops along the way at spots such as the Monastery of Panormitis and Saint George Bay, perfect for swimming in the turquoise waters.

Once we arrive at the main village, we will wander through its streets, take stunning photos, and enjoy a delicious homemade meal.

On the return trip to Rhodes, keep your eyes open – we might be lucky enough to see dolphins accompanying us back to the port!

Day 6: Visit to the Faethon Small Horses Association – Hike to Prophitis Ilias

After a few days full of sun and sea, today is the day to explore the stunning countryside of Rhodes.

Next, we will embark on a hiking adventure from the village of Salakos, at the foothills of Prophitis Ilias Mountain. The route is suitable for teenagers, passing through pine and olive trees, with breathtaking views of the Aegean Sea, the Turkish coastline, and nearby islands. At the summit, we will discover the history of unique buildings from the Italian colonial era, such as the “Elafos” and “Elafina” hotels and the “Villa de Vecci,” as well as the Byzantine Church of Prophet Elias, which gives the mountain its name.

On the way back to Salakos, we will enjoy the sunset, with the colours of the sea and sky adding magic to the experience. For the ultimate adventure, we will use head torch to light our path, offering a unique night hiking experience.

In the evening, we will have dinner in the village of Salakos to recharge after a full day of exploration.
