Extensive hike to the secluded Fourni beach
An extensive hike to Fourni Beach, taking in the coastline with spectacular views. This is a challenging walk and the return route is by road although there is supposedly a path directly back from the beach, it is certainly not easy to access.

A climb to the peak of the third highest mountain on Rhodes
This walk follows a well defined route from Salakos up to the summit of the mountain known as Profitis Ilias. The mountain side is the location of the reputed Mussolini's Villa which is now a dilapidated ruin. with outstanding views from the summit it is worth persevering over the more strenuous final climb to the top.

A straight forward walk along well defined tracks from Salakos to the coast at Kalavarda
A walk through the hills from Salakos to Kalavarda village and onto the beach. This is over a 10km hike in one direction but the views are amazing and the terrain is more rolling than climbing.
