Overview
Inclusions
- Hiking equipment
- Bottled water
- Snacks
- Private transportation
What to expect
Hiking: 10 km and 500m of elevation gain. Walking along an enchanting path in the woods (10 km and 500m in altitude) you will reach a cave hidden in the mountain: “Limeri”. This cave, very important during the second war, was a base for espionage for the partisan movements and home to a radio station.
Continuing, passing by the small church of Ag. Ioannis, you reach the top of the 2nd mountain of the island: Mount Akramitis. Here the green meets the "Aegean blue" for a breathtaking view. The whole area is included in the European network of habitats "NATURA 2000" and is protected as a "monument of nature" because, in addition to the particular morphology, the natural beauty and the dense forest of pines and cypresses, it collects unique ecosystems of wild fauna and flora . The descent passes through a mainly stony path and boasts a fascinating view.

This trip was our third hike led by Hiking Rhodes during our recent holiday on the island, and like the previous two was excellently organised, and provided a great way to see parts of the island not otherwise easily discoverable by tourists. The information provided onHiking Rhodes website was accurate and informative. This hike in particular provided amazing views from the summit and our guide Elisa had researched a great route up, and pointed out many areas of interest along the way. On the day we went, our fellow hikers were a lovely group of people from several different countries and we really bonded well as a team through the joint experience. Elisa also provided us with some delicious local snacks for our lunch. Highly recommended for anyone interested in discovering more of this beautiful island.Deux randonnées effectuées cette semaine avec Hikking Rhodes : Asklipio et Akramitis.

Deux randonnées effectuées cette semaine avec Hikking Rhodes : Asklipio et Akramitis. Dans les 2 cas, des guides très professionnelles mais aussi très sympathiques et chaleureuses ; et des randonnées très réussies que je n'aurai pas pu faire seul, ne connaissant pas suffisamment l'ile. Je recommande notamment le mont Akramitis, très spectaculaire... Merci à Hikking Rhodes de cette expérience ; si je reviens à Rhodes j'essaierai de faire d'autres randonnées avec eux parmi toutes celles proposées à la journée. Un très bon plan pour un randonneur voulant pratiquer à Rhodes...Bei wunderschönem Wetter Ende September haben wir heute diese schöne Tour mit unserem sympathischen Guide Elisa absolviert.

Bei wunderschönem Wetter Ende September haben wir heute diese schöne Tour mit unserem sympathischen Guide Elisa absolviert. Die abwechslungsreiche Landschaft und die beeindruckenden Aussichten auf die Küste und das Landesinnere haben sich mehr als gelohnt. Gekürt wurde die Tour mit der Besichtigung einer kleinen, versteckt gelegen Höhle, in welcher zwei Widerstandskämpfer im 2. Weltkrieg für 2 Jahre ausharrten um die Flotenbewegungen der Deutschen per Funk zu melden. Vor dem Abstieg bekamen wir zudem noch eine kleine schmackhafte Überraschung liebevoll serviert. Wir können diese Tour und das Team von Hiking Rhodes sehr empfehlen. Das Buchen der Tour erfolgte übrigens unkompliziert per WhatsApp und die Bezahlung per Paypal.

Wherever we go, we go for a hike. When looking for a guided hike in Rhodes we stumbled across Hiking Rhodes and were surprised by how many different hikes the company offers. Booking was pretty easy, communication was great. One of the best parts however was our great guide Elisa. She is such a treasure. Very welcoming, smiling, accommodating, knowledgeable and full of energy. The hike was not too difficult, yet still challenging at times. Visiting the cave was an unique experience. The view from the top is just outstanding! On the way down Elisa prepared a lovely picnic for us, including homemade olive oil. Very thoughtful! We would definitely recommend choosing Hiking Rhodes to everyone! Thank you Elisa for creating wonderful memories! ❤️
