Join us on Wednesdays for a shared tour or any other day for a private tour. The hike begins in the traditional agricultural village of Salakos, located at the foothills of Mount Profitis Ilias & close to the sea. After meeting your certified hiking leader & receiving a short briefing, you’ll set off along well-maintained paths that gradually ascend through a dense forest. Most of the route is shaded creating a comfortable environment even during warmer months. As you climb, you’ll enjoy sweeping views of the Aegean Sea, the Turkish coastline & nearby islands. Even experienced hikers appreciate this tour for its combination of fresh mountain air, peaceful forest surroundings & impressive panoramas. Some history will be included by visiting iconic Italian-era buildings as well as the Byzantine church of Profitis Ilias. After a short break & a traditional snack, you’ll begin the descent back to Salakos. With its gentle terrain, rich history & lush scenery, this is one of the easier hiking tours we offer, suitable for all fitness levels, including children. — a perfect introduction to hiking on Rhodes & an ideal way to experience the island away from busy tourist areas.
