With a private coach bus, we set off for Monolithos, a beautiful rural village at the not spoiled by mass tourism West side of the island. The top of Akramitis mountain, the second highest of the island of Rhodes, is our goal for today! The hike ascents gradually on green slopes of cypress trees that overlook the bay of Apolakia giving multiple chances for amazing photos. After the demanding first part, we now hike through beautiful meadows, full of aromatic colorful herbs and we soon reach the chapel of St John. Time for a well-deserved stop, before starting again to concur the top. Once arrived, the views are more than worthy. Anyone can admire the nearby islands of Halki, Alimia, Tilos and even Karpathos, the inland of Rhodes Island, the lake of Gadouras and Apolakia and feel like a real explorer. To go down we follow a different trail between high pine trees. This hike offers you the chance to explore a totally undiscovered area of the island, and can surely convince you that Rhodes is more than classic
