Itinerario
Nuestro viaje comienza con la antigua Kamiros, que era una ciudad de la antigua Rodas. Su sitio está en la costa noroeste de la isla, a 3 kilómetros al oeste del moderno pueblo de Kalavarda. La antigua ciudad fue construida en tres niveles. En la cima de la colina estaba la Acrópolis, con el complejo del templo de Atenea y la estoa. El asentamiento principal estaba en la terraza media, que consistía en una cuadrícula de calles paralelas y bloques residenciales. En la terraza inferior se encuentran un templo dórico, probablemente dedicado a Apolo, la Casa de la Fuente, con el Ágora al frente y los Peribolos de los Altares, que contenían dedicatorias a varias deidades. Durante el período prehistórico la zona estuvo habitada por griegos micénicos. La ciudad misma fue fundada por los dorios. (El precio de la entrada es de 6 euros)
El castillo de Kritinia es un castillo medieval del siglo XVI, en una colina a unos 131 metros sobre el pueblo de Kritinia. Ofrece una vista impresionante del mar Egeo, la isla de Chalki y alguna otra isla desierta.
Nos unimos a la bodega: degustación de aceite de oliva y productos locales en una cava en el pueblo de Embona en una de las bodegas más antiguas de la isla de Rodas. Los vinos se elaboran mediante la recogida de uva de los viñedos por lo que podrás elegir entre diferentes tipos de vinos, todos ellos elaborados en Embona. Además, en el bar los visitantes pueden degustar de forma gratuita licores, ouzo, souma con miel, masticha y granada, combinados con nueces y frutas frescas. También se produce aceite de oliva y se puede encontrar miel de productores locales y, por supuesto, todo tipo de cosméticos, también hierbas con aceite de oliva. Experimenta la mejor comida tradicional en una taberna local en el pueblo de Embona, durante tu tiempo libre. Su guía turístico le dará algunas recomendaciones. ¡No dejes de visitar las tiendas de souvenirs de Embona en busca de auténticos productos hechos a mano!
Luego nos dirigiremos a Profitis Ilias, una montaña de 798 metros de altura con atracciones muy interesantes. Se trata de una pequeña estación de veraneo (llamada Elafos y Elafina) creada fresca y relajante por los italianos en 1929, en el corazón de un bosque de pinos carrasco, cedros y cipreses poblado de ciervos, una parada ideal para tomar fotografías o tomar un café. De camino a Profitis Ilias pasaremos también por delante de un edificio que fue la cabaña del dictador italiano Musollini utilizada en el período de la Segunda Guerra Mundial.
Continuando, llegaremos a la zona de Fountouklis, donde visitaremos una iglesia bizantina de San Nicolás. Esta iglesia data del siglo XIV al XV y es un edificio central cuadrado cubierto con una cúpula. Lo importante de esta iglesia es la triple composición de los frescos del ábside.
Conduciendo hacia el este, dentro del campo y los pueblos de la isla de Rodas, llegamos a Kallithea Springs, un lugar majestuoso conocido desde la antigüedad por las propiedades beneficiosas y las aguas que brotan de las rocas que lo rodean. Hoy en día, completamente restaurado y reformado con buen gusto, el complejo de Kallithea Springs recibe a cientos de visitantes cada día. ¡Vale la pena ver las instalaciones, nadar en las cristalinas aguas azules de sus calas, disfrutar de un refresco en la cafetería frente al mar o visitar la Galería de Fotos con fotos más antiguas de la isla! La incomparable arquitectura monumental y la magnificencia del lugar con sus mosaicos únicos, la sala de la Rotonda donde antiguamente brotaban aguas termales, nos remiten, con nostalgia, a otra época. (El precio de la entrada es de 3,00 euros por persona).

An interesting trip with several stops. The ruins of Kamiros and the knight fortress were the most interesting for us. Lunch was at a small tavern at a favorable price. Unfortunately, the heat slowed down the experience, of course it is beyond the control of the guide, but having a guide who speaks bad English who goes before and talks so that you do not hear pulls down the review considerably.
Booked this late as our planned similar tour operator trip was cancelled at the last minute. Very comprehensive tour which took us far outside our base in Rhodes Town. Kameiros was a treat. The Pompei of Rhodes. We enjoyed this more than Lindos Acropolis and the guide gave excellent background and historical information. The castle at Kritinia is worth the steps up for the views and lunch in Embonas was tasty and good value. All stops were timed about right with enough time to see things with the guide and in our own time. Coach was comfortable and pick up and drop off from outside our hotel was great.
Thank you very much ,we appreciate it .
Mixed feelings about this tour. The tour guide was excellent—very knowledgeable and engaging. I especially enjoyed her stories about everyday life in ancient Kamiros and would have loved to spend more time there. Unfortunately, the visit felt rushed, and we had very little time to explore. The traditional Greek lunch in Embona was the highlight of the trip. The food was delicious, and the wine tasting afterward was also very enjoyable. On the downside, most stops felt quite rushed, with little or no free time to look around. Some locations, such as Kritinia Castle, were not particularly impressive, and reaching them requires walking uphill, which may be challenging for less mobile visitors. By the end, the tour felt a bit too focused on places where extra spending was encouraged. Overall, great guide and excellent lunch, but I would have preferred more time at the main sights and a less rushed schedule.
The tour is very well orginised ,in each stop we stay a certain time because then we will be out of the times and we will finish very late ,all these are written in our site, in the stops we dont force the people to visit a particular shop or restaurant ,they are free to choose .Next time you could make it in private. Thank you
As an experienced traveler who has visited many countries and joined numerous organized tours over the years, I can honestly say that our experience with Kariba Travel was outstanding from beginning to end. We booked two excursions with them during our stay in Rhodes: the Symi & Panormitis excursion and the Guided Ancient Kamiros – Kritinia Castle – Embona – Mount Profitis Ilias – Kallithea Springs tour. Both were exceptionally well organized, punctual, and professionally managed. From the very first communication until the end of our excursions, everything went smoothly and exactly as promised. The online booking and payment process was simple, secure, and straightforward, while the customer support team was always responsive, professional, and genuinely willing to help before we even made our reservation. This level of service is becoming increasingly rare, especially during the peak tourist season when companies are extremely busy. Yet the team at Kariba Travel always found time to answer questions, provide guidance, and make us feel valued as customers. Their willingness to communicate and assist, even during such a busy period, was truly appreciated. A special thank you goes to our guide, Mrs. Elena. Her knowledge of the history, culture, traditions, and heritage of Rhodes was truly impressive. What made her stand out even more was the genuine passion and love she has for sharing knowledge. Every explanation was engaging, informative, and delivered with warmth, enthusiasm, and respect for the visitors. It was clear that she genuinely loves what she does, and that made a huge difference to our experience. The way Mrs. Elena managed the tour in multiple languages was truly exceptional. Her ability to switch effortlessly between languages while maintaining the same level of enthusiasm, clarity, accuracy, and attention to every guest was remarkable. She is a shining example of what a true tourism professional should be: knowledgeable, organized, patient, approachable, and deeply respectful towards visitors. Her professionalism, passion, and dedication greatly enriched our experience and deserve the highest praise. We would also like to thank our driver, Mr. Giorgos, who was a true professional throughout both excursions. Friendly, courteous, calm, and always helpful, he made us feel safe and comfortable at all times. His professionalism and excellent attitude deserve special recognition. The coach itself was excellent—modern, spotless, comfortable, and very well maintained. Every aspect of the journey reflected care, professionalism, and attention to detail. What impressed us most was that we never felt like tourists being treated as a source of revenue, but rather as welcomed guests whose experience genuinely mattered. At no point did we feel pressured, rushed, or taken advantage of simply because we were visitors. In an industry where trust is everything, Kariba Travel has earned ours completely. They know how to respect, appreciate, and care for their guests. It is refreshing to find a company that combines professionalism, honesty, excellent organization, and genuine hospitality in such a natural way. What impressed us most was the feeling that we were not simply customers, but welcomed guests. The combination of excellent organization, fascinating destinations, knowledgeable guiding, safe transportation, and genuine hospitality created memories that we will cherish for a long time. Five stars are simply not enough. For us, this was a 10/10 experience. A huge congratulations to the entire team for setting such a high standard. Thank you, Kariba Travel, thank you Mrs. Elena, and thank you Mr. Giorgos for helping us discover Rhodes with such professionalism, kindness, and love for your beautiful island. We will happily recommend your company to friends, family, and fellow travelers. ★★★★★ Highly recommended. 10/10.
Thank you very much ,we appreciate it.
It was unfortunate that the weather was a bit grim, but the tour went ahead anyway. There were some things that we couldn’t see due to this, but guide & driver handled the day very well. Great to see the sights we did & lunchtime taverna visit was amazing. Felt overall like we spent more time on the coach than off today, but feel this was probably due to the rain! Guide super informative & helpful, driver very safe:) Definitely recommend this tour if you don’t have the use of a car on the island.
Thank you very much ,we appreciate it.
Informative, enjoyable and unique. An amazing way to see less easily accessible parts of the island. The guide and driver were lovely, knowledgeable and humorous.
Thank you very much ,we appreciate it.
This has to be the best tour on the Island.Plases we visit full of history and stunning views .Lots of stops so not stuck on bus for long periods 👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you very much.
Always charming island with excellent sea. On the recommended tour grade just enough. The two towns (Rhodes and Lindos) almost impassable x a storm tourism and redundant sellers of junk that distort the beauty
Dear Gianfranco , You have done the island tour not Rhodes city anmd Lindos ,i think that you are confused for the review ,on that tour you have visit other places of the island.
Bus ride at 38C without air conditioning, change to bus, 6 hours later very aggressive driver, did not feel like it, were insulted when we were asked in which hotel he should drop us off. Booked the next day drive again, were simply not picked up, had waited 40 min!
Dear Michael, We had an issue with the aircondition of the bus and we changed the bus ,the next day you dint have any reservation with us ,i am sorry but you are comfused .
Pre-communication was excellent prior to the trip date and we knew exactly where we would be picked up. The trip itinerary was full of and our guide, Helen, extremely knowledgeable. We were given the right amount of time at each stop. We felt we really got a sense of Rhodes history and saw many aspects of the island. We would highly recommend this trip as value for money.
Thank you very much.
