Overview
Hiking Tour Akramitis Mountain boasts something for everyone from experienced hikers to more basic levels. Your guide will make sure everyone walks at a comfortable pace.
This hiking tour takes you through a variety of surroundings. In Spring, pretty flowers, fragrant herbs and rare Rhodian Orchids line your way. Akramitis may not be the highest mountain of Rhodes, but its breathtaking sheer drops at the summit, dense tree shade and ever-changing surroundings more than make up for its lack in height. This hiking tour is ideal for anybody who likes to get off the beaten track and more experienced hikers will certainly be glad they came!
o Hike the second highest mountain of the island
o Explore a different side of Rhodes – lush vegetation and rocky peaks in a Natura 2000 protected area
o Enjoy the 360 views from the top (Dodecanese Islands, Turkey, inland of Rhodes)

Reviews
We were a group of four travellers and two guides, Jim and George. The guys are super knowledgeable, friendly and helpful, and they even carried snacks and extra water for anyone who had run out!
The hike itself was lovely, spring is an excellent time of year to be in Rhodes as there are many different flowers. The views from the top of the mountain are gorgeous!
In terms of difficulty, I found the uphill climb easy, but was happy to have the trekking poles on the way back, as it's quite steep. The guys showed me how to use them and I got used to them pretty quickly.
We also had some great discussions about tourism / sustainable tourism and outdoors experiences in Rhodes and all of Greece.
All in all, I'd warmly recommend this hike to anyone who is interested in discovering a side of Rhodes that few people get to experience!
From start to finish - from pre-booking email enquiries, the booking process itself, the guides, the routes, the delicious Greek snacks, the water that was provided - all the practicalities were first class.
But the best thing about the 2 days I spent with them was the guides - their knowledge, their sense of humour, their friendliness as I was a solo traveller - they made my 2 days out with them just perfect.
So a huge thank you to Jimmy, Tsabikos, George, Lisette and Maria for their helpfulness and great company.
I can't recommend them highly enough - you won't be disappointed if you book a day with them :-)
I'm planning to visit again next year and do some sea-kayaking with them :-)
