Description

The hike starts in Vlycha, a sea side village located close to Lindos, on the East coast of Rhodes. Setting off on this trail and following mainly dirt roads, we leave behind us the buzz of the busy road and head towards the west. Soon enough we walk underneath old pine trees, the survival of which on this dry rocky land around Lindos is clearly miraculous.

Our trail passes on the foothill of impressive vertical limestone slopes. We will then visit an impressive cave and admire the remains of abandoned agricultural life. Finally, the hike takes us to its highest point from where we can enjoy the magnificent views! It is time for some memorable pictures of the “Navarone Bay” ,with its azure colored water or just a few moments to take in the absolute beauty of the big blue! Heading down hill, we will take a first glimpse of the hill where the Acropolis of Lindos proudly stands. No words are enough to describe its beauty. We will have the chance to go closer, and explore the narrow streets of the whitewashed village of Lindos. Some free time will be available for a visit to the Archeological site. Then we hike back to Vlycha from a different route.

The tour operates every Tuesday and any other date upon request.
