Rhodes:Kamiros,Kritinia,Embona,Mt Profitis Ilias & Kallithea tour

Nina was an absolutely amazing guide, her knowledge of Rhodes history and customs were outstanding and she took good care of the small group. All the places visited were excellent, it was lovely to visit Kalithea Springs. We went to the lovely bakery in Embonas for lunch rather than the recommended taverna, which gave us time to explore this lovely village and friendly locals. The ‘winery’ trip was very rushed, no tour and a few samples to try, felt like they wanted us in and out quickly. We passed a place with donkeys and would’ve been lovely stop here like some other small trips had. The mini bus was comfortable and had a fabulous day with Nina and our driver was excellent too. Definitely a ‘must do’ and was good value.

Outstanding guide Nina gave a detailed history of the amazing sights we were taken to in this small group bus tour.

Excellent trip thanks to the 2 Mike's. Very professional and so informative, we loved the scenery and stops.

Personally didn't rate kalithea springs as due to a wedding we couldn't get access to all of the place and to short for a swim, again for me Personally.

Great trip would do again

Many thanks x

This tour is a MUST! What a fab tour around the island of Rhodes!

From the moment we got picked up from our hotel, to the time we got dropped back, we had an amazing day.

Nena our tour guide was very good and gave us a brilliant history of Rhodes. George, our driver was very careful and professional in his driving.

Stopping off and seeing the great sights around the island was lovely and breathtaking.

This truly was the highlight of our trip and great value for money.

Nina, our tour guide, was fabulous- full of brilliant history and tales from the islands past that brought everywhere to life! Lots to see!

We were a family of 2 adults and a child , we had an amazing trip . Peter was our guide and Micheal drove us to all the lovely places .

Peter is very knowledgeable and passionate about history and was very knowledgeable!

The history behind Kamiros , Kritonia castle , Mt Profitis is amazing. We unfortunately just got 30 mins at Kallithea springs as it closes at 4pm wished we could spend more time there but besides that the overall experience was very enjoyable and I definitely recommend using Kariba Travels !

Michael the guide and Michael the driver were fantastic!! Very knowledgeable and friendly. I would highly recommend this tour with them. It was the perfect amount of time. Wine tasting was great. We bought a couple of bottles. The lunch was great and relaxing. Very good food.

booked this trip through tripadviser , nina was an excellent guide and very knowledgeable , a full day but never bored , would highly recommend this tour

An absolutely amazing tour of the island. The guide was really knowledgeable, sharing stories, myths, bits of culture as you’re driving. The places we visited were absolutely breathtaking. We even got to feed deer which was a lovely surprise, and had my best Greek Iced coffee of the trip in the bar next to Kritinia Castle (which also had puppies you could play with). Wine tasting had some of the best wine I have ever tried. Sometimes it would have been nice to have a little bit more time in some locations as I would have liked to stay longer. Overall five stars.

Firstly reviews are written from our family’s point of view. You may have your own opinions or disagree.

The tour was a full day with multiple stops covering mainly villages in the mountains

Michael the guide was extremely knowledgeable and funny and had an encyclopaedic knowledge of the islands history

Stop 1. An old ruined castle - very picturesque

Stop 2. Wine, mastic , honey and olive oil tasting - very interesting

Stop 3. An old classically built hotel - chance for a coffee

Stop 4. A fascinating Byzantine church

Stop 5. A pond full of coy carp

Stop 6. Lunch in a taverna in the mountains

Stop 7. Feeding watermelon to deer

Stop 8. A health giving spring and hollowed out tree

Stop. 9. Kalithea springs - where you can swim

Need to know.

1. If you get car sick it’s a bit windy on the road. Sit at front

2. If you’re tall , legroom on coach is terrible

3. Michael points out things from the front of bus which you cannot see further back as the windows are not high enough on the sides

4. There isn’t enough time at kalithea springs to get changed, swim and get changed again

5. Lunch is not included in the price . Not clear in literature

6. Entrance to kalithea springs is not included but it’s only 3 euros. Again this is not included in literature

7. If you have mobility issues , it’s all fine except walking up to first castle which you can admire from below anyway

Overall worth it but take note
