Highlights
- Filerimos Monastery - Filerimos Hill was used to be the citadel of the ancient town of Ialysos. Here you will be greeted from dozens of peacocks and you will be able to see the 2 monasteries which are situated there and the 18m high cross. You will be rewarded with a gorgeous panoramic view of the West Coast. Entrance Fee - 6 Euro/per person and not included in our price

Embonas - Our next stop is the picturesque and lively village of Embona.
Winery in Rodos follows a tradition of 2,400 years! In order to eliminate poorer quality grapes, Rodians destroyed vineyards on the Lindos – East Coast side, where the climate is too hot and dry and now all the growth is concentrated on the western side, around the village of Embonas. Here are located many small vineyards in specific cooler microclimates where granite stones in the soil help by increasing humidity which in turn improves the flavor.
Embona village is located on the slopes of Mt. Ataviros (Rhodes’s highest peak at 3,986 feet) is where you’ll find Rhodes’s wine country. Embonas is the wine capital of Rhodes. - Ebonas Winecellar - We will stop at least at 2 different winery producers where you will be able to taste a big variety of fresh wines. At each stop, you may be given small portions of appetizers to complement your taste of the wine. You will be able to taste also some olives, cheese and home-baked bread from the region.
- Kounaki Wines - The wine tasting is absolutely free and you aren’t obliged to purchase anything. Of course, a bottle of wine will be a wonderful souvenir from Rhodes, or maybe a bottle of original olive oil with no conservatives, or just a small bag of mountain herbs for your tea in the winter. All products are fully natural and with origin from this gorgeous mountain village.

Amazing and unique experience! - The tour was worth every penny! We had a fantastic day with our driver Nikos who was very kind and professional. We enjoyed the stories from Nikos, the Butterfly Valley, and the lunch and wine tasting in Embonas was a pure pleasure for us! We couldn't resist ourselves and bought a lot of excellent wines from Embonas. Thank you for making our day exceptional and remarkable!

Fantastic Tour!!!! - My friends and I had an absolute blast on this tour!! Our guides, Nikos and Dominic, were incredibly informative, excellent drivers, and definitely love their island. We learned so much about the culture, the island's history, and of course local wine. Everyone was so friendly and caring. It was truly a spectacular day.

Wine tasting in Embonas, Rhodes - An absolute treat! Picked up on time from our hotel by Dominic our driver/guide and off to see the sights we wanted to see followed by a very comprehensive wine tasting at Emery and Kounaki wineries. Lunch in Embonas was wonderful followed by a tasting in one of the local wine shops just to ensure we covered all bases. Dominic was very professional and knowledgeable and made the day special. Much appreciated! David
