Small group hiking between the beach and Kritinia Castle

I participated with friends in two excursions organized by Hicking Rhodes and I was sorry not to be able to do more. The preparation of both guides allowed us to fully appreciate both the beautiful landscapes that I certainly would not have been able to reach, and also provided us with a solid foundation of history and tradition to enjoy the city with professionalism but without heaviness. By also pampering us with refreshments and local products, they managed to leave us curious to return to explore this beautiful island further. Until next time!

Group vacation where everything was fantastic! Everyone is happy and satisfied! We are already ready for the next vacation 😍 in 🍀🇬🇷

We were picked up early sunday morning at our hotel in Faleraki by our guide Manuela ,and together with an english couple we drove to the Kritinia area where our hike started. It was a very hot day,so Manuela gave us extra bottles of water. We started walking up a steep hill, and at the top we got a beautiful view over the Aegean sea and the beautiful island Halki ( which my wife and I visited 15 years ago on a 7 day hike around the Rhodos Island) Our lunch break was in a small beach with peeble stones. We also got the chance to dip our toes in the rough sea (Manuela even went swimming in the big waves) After the break we continued to the ruins of Kritinia castle (the end of the hike)sitting on the top of a small mountain. The view here was amazing. Afterwards we had a stop in the small village of Kritinia for a cup of coffee. On our way back home we even visited the Gadoura dam in Laerna which support drinking water to the city of Rhodos. All in all a fantastic day, thanks to our guide Manuela and our traveling companions

The route was chosen is well managed, the guide was attentive to all needs, very prepared. The path is wonderful and allows you to experience the island in an alternative way.

Guide Elisa friendly , prepared , punctual , helpful and patient with all participants . We did sometimes challenging walks and swims in the sea , unthinkable for us before leaving . Very friendly hotel staff and more than good quality services

The hike started from Kristina village. Meeting Elisa and Maria we started the lovely hike by going down a beautifully road looking towards the rocky beach we were heading at. Though most flowers are already gone at the lower places, we were lucky to see the poppies at full bloom, pink cistus flowers, the mastika trees and much more. The lovely conversation with Elisa and her knowledgeable explanations made the hike even nicer. We reached the hidden rocky beach, where after a short rest we climbed to the Kristina fortress and heard all about the pilgrims who built it. The view was amazing, as well as the climb back to the village. We strongly recommend the tour,and even more so Elisa!
