Discover the most beautiful highlights of Rhodes Island on a full-day tour that combines spectacular views, local traditions and the island’s must-see attractions. It’s a perfect opportunity to experience the diversity of landscapes – from lush valleys to scenic coastlines – and soak up the authentic Greek atmosphere.

Your journey begins with a drive along the west coast, where you will visit one of the island’s most unique places – the Valley of the Butterflies. This remarkable nature reserve becomes home to thousands of butterflies during the season, creating a truly unforgettable sight. Outside the season, the programme includes a visit to Filerimos Hill, offering panoramic views over the island, along with the chance to see the monastery and the iconic cross overlooking the area.

Next, you will head inland to the mountain village of Embona, known for its local traditions and wine production. Here, you will enjoy a tasting of regional wines at a local winery and have free time for lunch. As you explore the village, you can browse small local shops, take photos and experience the peaceful rhythm of this part of Rhodes.

The tour continues to the east coast and one of the island’s most iconic locations – Lindos. This charming village is famous for its whitewashed houses and narrow cobbled streets. During your visit, you may climb up to the acropolis for stunning views over St. Paul’s Bay or simply wander through the town, discovering its unique character and capturing memorable moments.

After a day full of experiences, you will return to your hotel in the afternoon.
