• Monolithos - Your hike starts near the beautiful rural village of Monolithos, on the undeveloped and as yet unspoilt western side of the island. The summit of Akramitis, the second highest in Rhodes, is your goal for today!
  The hike gradually ascends on green slopes under cypress trees overlooking the bay of Apollakia. Soon the hiking trail becomes more demanding as you start to walk along a rocky path. After the most strenuous stint, you find yourself surrounded by colourful shrubs leading to the first stop of the day
• the tiny old chapel of St John. Here you will have a welcome snack and then it’s onwards and upwards to the top.
  Just before you arrive, you find yourself again scrambling over rocks for a short time but once you reach the summit you will be lost for words. From the top of the mountain, you get to see both sides of Rhodes, the nearby islands, the lake of Apollakia, Attaviros (the highest mountain on Rhodes) and inland Rhodes.
  You will follow a different route on the way down during your Hiking Tour Akramitis Mountain, one that takes you through a forest of tall pine trees. This hiking tour is ideal for anybody who likes to get off the beaten track!
