Detailed Description

Since the majority of tourists flock to Santorini and other over-saturated islands, you can look forward to a much less crowded island haven with this 7-day tour of Greece’s Rhodes. Your island retreat will begin when you arrive in Rhodes. Your first evening will provide you with a segway tour of the Old Town with a private guide. The following morning will find you on a tour that will allow you to indulge in the thermal spa treatments at Kallithea Springs, to witness the captivating collection of butterflies in Butterfly Valley, and to marvel at the majesty of Mt. Filerimos. Day three will lead you to the spectacular wonders of Symi Island on a sailing excursion.

Day four will lead you to some of Rhodes’ breathtaking bays. While you sail to each bay on a yacht, you will have the chance to relax at sea. On day five, you will paddle through the sea in a kayak. After your kayaking adventure, you will spend the evening learning how to cook a Greek meal from a local master chef. A private oceanside yoga session will mark the beginning of your sixth and final full day in Greece. After striking several poses and finding your center, your guide will lead you on a scenic hike to discover the best views of the lovely city of Lindos.

Throughout your island escape, you will stay in luxurious accommodations and have every detail of your vacation handled, including all private transfers. Nearly everything about this itinerary is customizable, so you can further adjust it when in Greece to better suit your moods and interests.

From the moment we walked off the plane, everything was planned seamlessly! Drivers, hotels, tours, and transfers! Zicasso’s travel agent did an amazing job listening to the types of activities we like to do and was able to put together an itinerary that was amazing! The people we met, the sites we were able to see, and the food were fantastic. She also checked in with us to make sure everything was going well. If we needed her, she was easy to reach out to.
