- Epar.Od. Kalavardas-Empona 99 - 7.5km walk and 500m elevation gain. One of the most popular walking tours in Rhodes. Starting from the village of Salakos, you go along an ancient mule track that leads to a garden that once belonged to De Vecchi who had a villa built in Profitis Ilias. Passing through the garden continue towards the two Tyrolean-style hotels and continue towards the mountain peak. From here the view that is proposed to you is truly breathtaking. Descending from the mountain, you pass the majestic villa and its chapel and return to Salakos. The whole route is immersed in a dense forest of cypresses and Aleppo pines which offer shade and shelter from the sun on the hottest days.

Amazing Day :) - Had an amazing day. The Hiking Rhodes van came to pick me up and I felt like going on a cool school trip. Lovely group and not too large. It was a personal challenge and goal to make it up as iam not so experienced with going up a mountain. The levels in the group were different, but i managed well as there were enough stops and breaks to catch your breath, have a drink, enjoy view and get some explanations from the guide. All was kept in check at all times. Very well organised. Also prior to booking and after booking i found the communication clear, fast and pleasant.
I would have liked to stay at the top a bit longer to enjoy this achievement :)
My compliments to the Hiking Rhodes Team!

Great, well organized hike - Great hike! Hiking Rhodes is highly recommended. Our guide was Manuela, very cheerful and perfectly organized. At the summit there was good (Italian) coffee and biscuits, which we really appreciated. We learned a lot about the history of Rhodes. We would definitely recommend the tour.

A holiday with some friends - For the first time I have participated in guided tours with a few friends of mine.
Hiking Rhodes allows you to explore and admire the nature of these amazing places by passing through woods as well as green or mostly rocky areas untill you reach terrific panoramic zones. Besides, you can see many local animals such as goats and deers.
Elisa is a very well prepared guide, and, as such, organises everything meticulously.
Moreover, you can visit a few quaint villages while Elisa tells you about the history and the daily life.
She also offers you coffee and biscuits!

A beautiful, enjoyable hike - What an excellent hike. This walk is stunning, with many viewpoints and several places of interest along the way. Plenty of shade from the sun. Just a nice length of hike to get the blood pumping, but not too strenuous (although, be warned, there is a lot of going up!). Manuela our guide was also lovely, with a relaxed demeanour and just the right number of facts about where we were. I am so glad we booked, and would really recommend this hike and company.

Salakos to Profitis Ilias - I cannot recommend Hiking Rhodes more and specifically Manuela - she is an experienced and gifted guide with an obvious love of the island.
The hike was stunning but also informative and fun. Despite it being just a couple of weeks after the wildfires, this did not impact the hike at all.
It was such a great experience we booked a second excursion with Manuela a few days later.
