Guide #46882
Hi ! I’m Mike, born and raised in Rhodes, and I’m passionate about sharing my island’s beauty and heritage. My parents came from Karpathos, a neighboring island. I was raised in the Medieval town, where I spent my childhood exploring its historic alleys, before moving with my family in the modern city. Like most locals I work hard during the seven - months tourist season, and in the off-season, you’ll find me cycling, swimming, or indulging in a good book—all things that make life on Rhodes even more enjoyable. I’ve been in the tourism industry since my teenage years, witnessing firsthand the transformation of Rhodes into a world-class destination. Today, I run a private tour agency, dedicated to crafting personalized experiences for visitors who want to explore the real Rhodes beyond the typical tourist spots. My goal? To make sure my guests get the most out of their visit and leave with unforgettable memories of my homeland. Rhodes is a truly blessed island—with over 300 days of sunshine, a rich historical heritage, and breathtaking natural landscapes, it’s the perfect destination for all types of travelers. Whether you're drawn to ancient history, stunning beaches, or charming villages, Rhodes has something special to offer. I am looking forward to introduce you to Rhodes and share its incredible stories, landscapes, and hidden gems. Let’s explore together! • I am a professional tour - driver with extensive knowledge of Rhodian history, culture and nature. • I 'm organizing and delivering private tours for the last 20 years while I also manage a local tour agency . • My thoroughly designed itineraries cover the whole island and I let customers to set the pace. • I am fluent in English and my vehicle is a Mercedes Benz W 213. * Upon request , I can accommodate groups as well. I am not a licensed guide and will not be able to guide you inside of historical monuments.

Mike was wonderful and attentive to our needs. When one member of our group became overcome by the heat in the old town he knew just who to call to get a golf cart to take him to the edge of the old town where the van could pick him back up. It was very hot in Rhodes that day and Mike tailored our trip to accommodate family member who couldn't handle the heat for long...

Mike was such a knowledgeable guide, and he made the tour feel so personal right from the start by showing us where he grew up on the island.

July 2026Thank you so much for such a wonderful review Larissa! Sharing the island where I grew up and introducing guests to local friends along the way is truly the best part of what I do. I’m glad you enjoyed everything: the wine tasting, the photos over Anthony Quinn Bay, and the vibes at the beach. You were an absolute pleasure to host, and you’ll always have a friend here...
Mike is an excellent guide. He is knowledgeable, thorough, helpful, and amicable. I recommend him highly.
