What to expect

Enjoy a tour to Filerimos hill from Rhodes! You will have the chance to start your tour at the Archaeological site on the left or take a stroll on the right footway while enjoying the breathtaking panoramic view of Ialyssos. Whichever you choose, you'll be serenaded by the peacocks' mating calls throughout your journey.

You'll have the opportunity to explore the remains of the ancient acropolis of Ialyssos and visit the monastery of Our Lady, which is one of the three ancient cities of Rhodes Island. As you walk along the "Golgotha," a tree-sheltered pathway with several shrines depicting scenes of the Holy Passion, you'll get to witness the enormous imposing cross at the end, offering a spectacular view of the surrounding villages and lush green valleys.

After leaving Filerimos Hill, your next stop is the Valley of Butterflies, one of the island's most alluring destinations (with a 2-hour stay). The Pelekanos River canyon hosts a unique valley named after the Panaxia Quadripunctaria Butterfly. This valley was discovered in the 1930s by Italians who created a stunning 1 km path that meanders through the canyon, leading to areas, where the butterflies are densely populated.

Guided island tour of western Rhodes’ top attractions
Excursions & day trips

Guided island tour of western Rhodes’ top attractions

Dotted with sleepy villages, pine-clad mountains and age-old ruins, western Rhodes has a rugged beauty all of its own. This tour ticks off some of the top picks. You'll visit the ancient city of Kamiros, the mountain villages of Embona and Siana as well as Butterfly Valley – home to hundreds of Callimorpha butterflies. Nicholas, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘Kamiros offers a glimpse into the daily life of its ancient inhabitants and shows how ingenious the people who built it were. The water supply system, with its complex network of cisterns and aqueducts, is well-preserved and really interesting.'First up is Butterfly Valley – a natural park home to hundreds of the friendly, fluttering creatures. Wander along shaded wooden walkways and enjoy the calming pools of trickling water as you observe these colourful insects all around – stay still and one may even land on you. As well as the butterflies, the park features a variety of other flora and fauna, including lots of wildflowers and birds.Next, you'll travel back in time at ancient Kamiros. The tidily laid out streets and remains of the agora and acropolis will give you a sense of how the residents went about their daily lives in the 5th century BC. You'll get an app on entry, which shows how the city would have looked in 3D. Next, you'll have free time for lunch in Embona – the highest village in Rhodes – and visit the mountain-side settlement of Siana.

Lindos Acropolis & Rhodes Old Town Highlights Tour
Excursions & day trips

Lindos Acropolis & Rhodes Old Town Highlights Tour

Few islands in Greece can match the heritage of Rhodes. And this wealth forms the centrepiece of this tour. Discover it all with an expert local guide. Dimitris, one of our guides, says, ‘Lindos was built in the 10th century BC by the Dorians. It's the third-most visited site in all of Greece, which shows just how significant it is.' You'll also enjoy a walking tour of the old town of Rhodes and see the Palace of the Grand Master. Headsets allow direct connection between you and your guide.Dimitris believes Rhodes is blessed with some of the best scenery in Greece. He says, ‘Lindos lies near a fantastic sandy beach, surrounded by hills hiding the village, protecting the place from the attacks of the pirates. On top of the small sugar cube houses stands the ancient Acropolis and the Temple of Athena.' You'll get to appreciate these very views during a coffee stop at a typical family-run café. Climb to the mountaintop Acropolis as your guide brings to life the myths and legends of the ancients as you take in views of St Paul's Bay below.Rounding off the day, we'll head to the old town Rhodes – a UNESCO World Heritage Site – for a guided tour. Because so much of the excursion is walking, it reduces the activity's carbon footprint. Wander the winding, cobbled streets, lined with historic houses and boutiques, and walk down the Street of the Knights. The star attraction is the Palace of the Grand Master – an enormous 13th-century fortress originally built by the Knights of St John.
