This walk has some rough terrain, but is mostly on paths, crossing over an open mountain side which leads into a narrow valley.  From the valley, more vegetation is seen and as we cross over onto the other side of the mountain, we walk through pine trees. Returning along the coast, we make our way down into picturesque Lindos for the remainder of the day where you can visit the acropolis and meander through the narrow streets of where people easily get lost. The village was purposely built  to dissorientate any invaders.

Stops & Breaks:

There are no seating areas on this route. Our walking leaders know the route well and can usually find good stops with shade and/or good views.

Our walk begins along the beach, where we go inland to walk around our first crag, there is a short hill that is unwelcomed so early in the walk however this hill reveals views as we ascend and on the top the coastline is seen as far as Lindos. As we continue the beach disappears behind us.
The first part of the walk has suffered slightly from construction work placing a water pipeline up to Rhodes, which takes 10min to walk through.
We soon emerge onto a dirt track that we follow down to the coastline, with wild mountains behind us and the warm blue sea awaiting our return. Some dwellings have been built in this area and these people have chosen one of the most idyllic coastline spots in Rhodes.
As we emerge onto the coast the track diminishes and we have to walk around a small rock out crop and climb up a make shift ladder. The ladder is frequently changed or repaired by the local people, although judged by appearance it makes one consider before using it, stepping onto the rocky ledge we enter into a cove area full of white pebbles.
The path leads onto a track and into an old fishing village, which now generates most of its income from tourism. With plenty of Taverns and supermarkets to pickup replenishments, this will be our first rest stop of the day.
Walking out of the village there is a short hill that the road winds up through the last houses on the outskirts bringing us back into the countryside. We walk across a short valley feature that brings us to our first sandstone quarry.

From the end of the quarry area, the coastline opens up and reveals our destination in the distance. From this point the path becomes more rugged and at times stony, but the rough walking under foot is rewarded with such landscape views that pictures taken will bring back the memories of this panoramic coastline.
From our coastal walk we descend into one of the best sandy beaches in Rhodes. Up to this point, the coastal walk does not have a lot of shade and we recommend that a late lunch be had on the Beach using one of the cantinas for shade, seating and supplies.

There is a choice from here persons can retire to an idyllic village, relax for the remainder of the afternoon, or explore with our guide the surrounding area, which there is a lot to see, Castle, a cave and ruins we will make our way to the village to join rest of the group for a drink while we wait for our transport.

Food:

You will not need to bring a large amount of food, however, certainly bring some. This is the sort of walk where you might bring some snacks and fruit. There is a shop on route and we will finish at a beach side tavern. The best rule of thumb is always to come away from a walk with some food spare.

As this is a shorter walk, we will generally stop for several shorter breaks over the course of the walk rather than a long lunch stop. Our walk leaders know the best places to stop for example where there is shade or a good view. Throughout the day, there is plenty of opportunity to stop for a rest, to admire the view or to take photos

Trickling streams, rustic bridges and the scent of pine and a lake feeding the spring that’s named Efta Piges, our walk starts from the village of Archangelos. The tarmac road soon gives way to a dirt track that winds its way through land which bears fruit trees in fenced areas and then opens up to pine trees and olive groves.

As we approach Seven Springs the pine trees become more dense and the evidence of water is apparent.

Cool your feet, take off your walking boots and walk through an underground tunnel that runs under a wooded hill to feed the lake.

The return to Archangelos take us on an alternative route with a contrasting landscape.

Walking conditions:

This route mostly follows good tracks though these can be quite rough underfoot at times. There are some shaded sections but it is best to be prepared against the sun. This area of Rhodes is not especially hilly and the walk consists mostly of easy gradients.

Always thought how the walking paths get made or areas discovered, take this opportunity to join Stephen on one of his exploration days in Rhodes were he goes looking for new areas to walk, find new things to see, there is not knowing what you will be doing, were you will get to and what you will discover with him, be warned Stephen can come home covered in scratches were he has pushed his way through thorned bushes to see what on the other side, but always he returns with that satisfied look that only persons with the same need to explore can have, knowing he's been where nobody else (well anybody sensible anyway) has been for a long time if at all sometimes.
As you have guessed these days are only available when Stephen is in Rhodes, which is very often in the walking season, these are not planned routes, neither are they planned days, just we had to put it in somewhere. Pleases contact us for more details. (Rule of thumb on this one, if you’re not sure then there's your answer)

Walking conditions:

Prepare for exploring were others do not go or do not even know about, from rough terrains to overgrown vegetation, this will be exciting not dangerous. (really rough areas will be left, such as 2mtr drops plus, and returned by the Walking Rhodes staff, with climbing equipment to remain safe in all areas at all times to finish off exploring these areas).
