Hiking Akramitis Mountain
6 h
About this activity
Itinerary
The hike starts from Monolithos, a beautiful rural village at the West side of the island. The top of Akramitis mountain, the second highest of the island of Rhodes, is our “mission”! The hike ascents at first on green slopes of cypress trees that overlook the bay of Apollakia giving us multiple chances for amazing photos. After the first part, we now hike through beautiful alpine meadows, full of aromatic herbs like sage and oregano and we soon reach the chapel of St John. Time for a well-deserved stop, before starting again to get to the top. Once arrived, the views are amazing. We will admire the nearby islands of Halki, Alimia, Tilos and even Karpathos and the inland of Rhodes Island. To go down we follow a different trail though high pine trees. This hike offers you the chance to explore a totally undiscovered area of the island, and can surely convince you that Rhodes is more than it seems.
