Trips
Rhodes & Kastellorizo A unique trip to the easternmost tip of Greece.
In Rhodes, the island of knights, we will meet and travel to other times when, passing the medieval gate of the Old Town, we will face the palace of the Grand Masters. In this place we will spend days exploring its unknown hinterland, with its magnificent forests, towers, but also hidden pebbly and sandy beaches.
We will then head to Kastellorizo, the island that captivates all who arrive at its picturesque harbor. All the colors of the painter’s palette have been used in the two- and three-story mansions along the quay. Paved paths will lead us to its hidden archaeological and historical corners, such as the Old Castle, the Monastery of Agios Georgios the Shepherd, the ancient wine presses, and the carved tombs. The experience of diving into the Blue Cave is perhaps the most intense feeling one can experience in this natural geological wonder, unique in the Mediterranean.

- A visit with the backdrop of the colors of the sunset in the Medieval Town and the Palace of the Grand Masters, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
- A visit to the iconic village of Lindos, which rightfully claims the title of the most beautiful and picturesque village on the island, including a guided tour of the ancient acropolis and swimming in its beautiful beaches.
- A tour of the countryside with its stunning forests and unknown castles and towers, followed by dives into gorgeous pebble and sandy beaches with tastings of local delicacies in charming seaside villages.
- A visit to the Acropolis of Palaiochastro, the oldest and most important monument on the island (3rd century BC), and to the rock-hewn domed “Lycian Tomb” (4th century BC), which reveals the island’s connection to the opposite Anatolian coast.
- A cruise around the island with dives from the boat into beaches and caves, with the highlight being the swim in the Blue Cave. A unique experience that will remain etched in our memory.
- A visit full of emotional charge is the visit to the island of Ro. It is here where the serious incident with the Turkish helicopter occurred, where the Lady of Ro raised the Greek flag for 40 years, just a breath away from the Turkish shores.
Double room: €950/person
