Welcome to Greece and the beautiful island of Rhodes, the capital of the Dodecanese. An island ideal not only for those wanting to relax but also for explorers looking for an action-packed holiday. With its bright rolling hills, rich green valleys and unceasing stretches of golden beaches, Rhodes is truly a blessed place that we will enjoy in two parts.
In the first part we will visit the old town and the palace of the grand master, before we refresh ourselves in the Kallithea Springs, and discover why Rhodes is considered as the sailing Mecca of the Dodecanese. We’ll take a trip to the beautiful Stegna beach to dive in the immaculate crystal blue waters, before venturing out on a SUP, a stand-up paddle board, to experience the unique and ever-growing practice of SUP Yoga. Finally, we’ll visit Panagia Tsambika, a hilltop monastery considered by some to be miracle-working.
In the second part we will visit the historic and picturesque Mandraki Harbour before exploring the natural attractions of Butterfly Valley and Seven Springs. Rhodes is often known as the paradise island for windsurfers, so we will not miss the chance to see how it feels to be on a board out on the open water. And finally, we will visit the must-see archaeological sites that aren’t to be missed before leaving the island, the town and the Acropolis of Lindos.
