Small group hike on Mount Akramitis: Limeri Cave, St John church, 10 km forest trail, 500 m climb, Aegean views.
“A truly wonderful way to spend a day. This was my second hike with Hiking Rhode. I highly recommend this walk if you like hiking, it is a fantastic way to see the island in a different way. The hike was thoroughly enjoyable taking in different terrains and points of interest including Limeri Cave and St John Church. You are rewarded with the most stunningly beautiful panoramic views from the top. Manuela was the perfect guide, professional, friendly and full of knowledge about the area, history, plants and nature.”
Climb near Rhodes’ Ladiko Bay, then rappel 35 m down a cave entrance with expert guides. Small group, safety-first, includes lunch.
“Absolutely awesome afternoon spent with Caroline and Ilias climbing and rappelling above Ladiko Bay. Their instruction and explanation was top-notch, as was their safety practices and best of all they were great fun and both supportive and encouraging. The climbs were more challenging than we have done before, but were all achievable with their expert help. We are a family of 3 with a 15 year old son and none of us had done any rappelling before - we all thought we’d be more nervous leaning backwards over the edge of the top of the cave but they’d made us feel so safe and we knew they could slow our…”

“Extraordinaire 😁😁😁. Cette randonnée était fabuleuse, notre guide Panos était tout simplement génial. Des paysages magnifiques et un coucher de soleil à couper le souffle. Un peu dur au début mais le reste est vraiment sympa. Un grand grand Merci à Panos 😊😊”
Small-group hike from Monolithos to Monolithos Castle for sunset on Rhodes, with hotel pickup, water, and a 10 km trek.
“Our group was just me and my hubby with Manuela. Firstly we were picked up from our hotel. The drive to our starting point was ok. Then we hiked for about 9 km: down to a beautiful beach and then back up to Monolithos to see the sunset. The weather was hot but we had enough breaks to make sure we were hydrated. The beach was really nice. And the sunset was amazing. I recommend this but make sure you have good shoes and you are in relatively good shape. Hiking up and down mountains in hot weather is not for everyone. But we really enjoyed this!”

Guided 12 km hike from Archangelos to Epta Piges, with a cool tunnel crossing, olive groves, ducks and peacocks, and hotel pickup.
“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…”
