Experience Rhodes from a unique perspective on this afternoon hike up Mount Profitis Ilias. Starting in the charming village of Salakos, your certified hiking leader will lead you along a gentle, family-friendly trail winding through pine, cypress and ilex trees, offering shade and tranquility even in the summer months.

As you ascend, enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of the Aegean Sea, the Turkish coastline, and nearby islands. At the summit, explore a collection of remarkable Italian colonial buildings, including the Alpine-style Elafos and Elafina hotels and the elegant Villa de Vecchi. Visit the Byzantine church of Profitis Ilias, a serene landmark rich in cultural heritage.

After a short snack break, descend as the sky transforms with the sunset, painting the sea and forest in golden light—a truly magical moment. As dusk falls, headtorches light the way, adding a gentle sense of adventure to the return journey.

This hike is a perfect blend of nature, culture and stunning scenery, offering a safe, small-group experience suitable for solo travellers, couples, and families. It’s an unforgettable way to witness Rhodes’ beauty at golden hour.
