Don’t leave Rhodes without…
Taking a walk in the beautiful Rodini Park, one of the oldest parks in the world. Wander around a green oasis with dense vegetation of ancient plane trees, wooden bridges and streams. In ancient times, this was the site of the renowned School of Rhetoric established by the Athenian orator Aeschines, and of the Hellenistic necropolis.
Discovering the island’s mountainous side on a climb to the top of Mount Profitis Ilias, which stands at a height of 780 metres. The route follows a stone-built path from the village of Salakos to a magnificent pine-wooded location reminiscent of the Swiss Alps. The area is dominated by two Italian-inspired chalets, “Elafos” (Buck) and “Elafina” (Doe), and a number of listed monuments from the period of Italian rule.
Exploring the magical “Seven Springs” and walking through the tunnel that leads to a beautiful man-made lake with crystal clear waters and a small waterfall.
Climbing the pine-covered Filerimos Hill up to the impressive gothic Monastery of the Virgin Mary, notable for its symbolic stone “Path of Golgotha” leading to a giant 18-metre-high cross.
Visiting the historical Aquarium and Hydrobiological Station of Rhodes, built in 1936 and due to its unique architecture, you have the feeling of being in an underwater cave.
