- Saint Savvas - Spiritual Center - The 12 km trek begins in the town of Archangelos, winding through olive groves and increasingly lush greenery due to a multitude of plant species. The region, abundant with natural springs, turns “Epta Piges” into a charming, cool haven. The trail follows the creek, goes past an old dam, and ascends to the renowned seven springs. Here, ducks and peacocks roam freely, welcoming admiration and photos. Adventurers can then enjoy the excitement of traversing a narrow, evocative tunnel where fresh water flows over their feet. Following a brief pause for refreshments, the hike proceeds through the forest on an adventurous route, diverging from the springs to delve into the olive tree fields. Gradually, the lush flora gives way to the sparse, rocky terrain that typifies the Archangelos region.

Excellent hiking experience - 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.

Magic Epta Piges - An excursion that allowed us to see one of the most beautiful landscapes of Rhodes. A place that offers peace and tranquility. The story of the Epta Piges has something of a friend. Thank you Elisa for giving us a day to remember and for pampering us with snacks and drinks! We will definitely try other excursions!

Connecting with nature - seven springs - We 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.

If you come to Rhodes this is an excursion you must do!!
