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.

Easy walk to an historic windmill
A short walk to the historic windmill of Monolithos. This is a traditional Rhodian mill with a cylindrical stone tower and a distinctive timber cap with a conical roof. The windmill offers a panoramic view of the Aegean Sea and the nearby islets. It is one of the finest examples of medieval Greek technology and a symbol of the the village's and the island's rich heritage.

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.

A circular walk taking in the Butterfly River at Salakos
The Butterfly River cascades down through the wooded valley to the east of the village of Salakos. The well trod path that follows this river climbs to the head of the stream where the area of the Nymph springs makes a fitting finale of this walk. Plenty of views, plenty of shady lush vegetation and, of course plenty of butterflies.

A circular route through the hills between the Holy Cross church and Moni Ipseni
This walk leads in to the wild yonder to make a circular route between the Holy Cross church and Moni Ipseni. The starting point is in the hills but this specific route is detailed from the nearest transport hub at the village of Lardos. This is a beautiful wander through the hills, exploring the natural history of the island.

A circular walk into the hills above the coast at Lothiarika Beach
You dont have to go far from a resort to experience the wildeer side of Rhodes. This walk takes a track that leads off the road between Pefkos and Lardos. You travel back in time to old farm buildings and flocks of sheep in the hills above the coast. Glorious!
