Advice for hiking in Rhodes

[blopez34]

I'm planning a trip to Rhodes and am really excited about exploring the island on foot. I’m looking for advice on the best hiking trails.

Can anyone recommend must-see routes that showcase the island's natural beauty and historical sites? I'm particularly interested in trails with stunning views, as well as any that might lead to hidden gems or lesser-known spots. Also, are there any safety tips or specific gear I should bring along? Lastly, I'd love to hear about any guided hiking tours that are worth joining.

Any personal experiences or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much!

Rhodes is perfect for hiking, offering a blend of natural beauty and historical charm! I highly recommend the Butterfly Valley (Petaloudes) trail, especially in summer when it's filled with colorful butterflies.

For stunning views, hike up Mount Attavyros, the island’s highest peak, where you’ll be rewarded with panoramic views over Rhodes. If you’re into history, the trail to the Ancient Kamiros is a must, combining scenic landscapes with ancient ruins.

For hidden gems, the Seven Springs (Epta Piges) offers a magical walk through lush greenery and cool waters. As for gear, good hiking shoes, plenty of water, and sun protection are essential. If you prefer guided tours, check out local operators offering hikes in the Akramitis area, which is less touristy but equally beautiful.

butterfly valley does NOT have colourful butterflys . only rather dull tiger moths. Seven Springs a hidden gem . Not really the car/ coach park is full nearly every day .The Akramitis area is where monolithios castle is located.coach loads of people are taken there every day as part of the island tour.they have probably been to seven springs before going to monolithos. You have obviously not been to rhodes & just copied from an outdated guide book or similar .
