The hike begins in the traditional agricultural village of Salakos, located at the foothills of Mount Profitis Ilias and close to the sea. After meeting your certified hiking leader and receiving a short briefing, you’ll set off along well-maintained paths that gradually ascend through a dense forest.
Most of the route is shaded creating a comfortable environment even during warmer months. The gentle incline makes this hike suitable for all fitness levels, including children.
As you climb, you’ll enjoy sweeping views of the Aegean Sea, the Turkish coastline, and nearby islands. Even experienced hikers appreciate this tour for its combination of fresh mountain air, peaceful forest surroundings, and impressive panoramas.
Some history will be included by visiting iconic Italian-era buildings as well as the Byzantine church of Profitis Ilias.
After a short break and a traditional snack, you’ll begin the descent back to Salakos. With its gentle terrain, rich history, and lush scenery, this is one of the easier hiking tours we offer — a perfect introduction to hiking on Rhodes and an ideal way to experience the island away from busy tourist areas.
