I was born in Brussels and grew up in a small village in Rhodes. I studied Geography in my second favourite island, Lesvos and have a great interest in geopolitics and demography. I have worked for 10 years as a geographer - cartographer and I have taken part in several municipal projects and state surveys. A very important project in my life was Rhodescape experiences and Rhodescape adventure park (2017 - 2022) at the lake of Apolakkia in south Rhodes. A vision, to create an adventure - ecological park at the village I grew up, became true! For the last 8 years I have a license by the Greek Tourism Organisation to offer daily excursions in our island with special activities and experiences. Through these excursions I try to offer my guests unforgettable days and convince them to come back for more days. All my tours are flexible, so that they can meet different preferences and can be adjusted according to traveler's needs. I am well aware that visitors seek to explore the beauty of a destination and make new friends there. Most tourist packages offer rather the "fast food" experience with no personal contact. I think that I can offer the services needed by a traveler rather than the typical tourist. Beautiful experiences - activities, authentic food and smiles are the key to become a group of friends at the end of the day with my guests. The love I have for my island and a passion to show people its beauty, as well as my need to communicate with people from all over the world, led me to a job perfectly suitable for me, which I enjoy doing everyday. I have a license by the Greek Tourism Organisation to offer daily excursions with activities. I have a degree in Geography and a Master's degree in Master in Geopolitics and Strategic Studies. I am not a licensed guide and will not be able to guide you inside the historical monuments.

Savvas provided an outstanding full day comprehensive tour of Rhodes. He is from the island, knows his way around, the highlights to see, off the beaten track stops and ways to make it an authentic experience. From where to get fresh squeezed orange juice with the oranges grown right there to a local lunch spot with, well, locals and an owner who comes out and shares his souma with you to visiting an incredibly scenic beach that he went to in his youth all made for a genuine and fun Rhodes experience. Definitely recommend Savvas!

What an amazing tour!!!! Savvas was an excellent guide, I can not recommend him enough. From the moment he picked us up with an incredible gift of local delicacies to ending the tour at a local restaurant that served the best local dishes, it could not have been better. He custom made our tour so we could see the best parts of Rhodes and his insight on island life was insightful and funny.

I only gave this a 5-star rating because there was not a choice for 6-stars! Savvas led this tour with his heart and his love for the island he was born and grew up on!!! You could not possibly have a more personable tour or tour guide! Of our 10-day Greek cruise, our time with Savvas tops our list of favorites! At one point in the tour, we went to Savvas's home village where he grew up. He purchased some local fresh feta cheese and watermelon and took us to a park at the top of one of the tallest mountains overlooking a large expanse of untouched west coast! We had watermelon and feta and the most memorable afternoon of our trip! Then we went to his favorite eatery where they only cook what is fresh and local, no menu, local food just kept coming out! AMAZING!!! Would not want to do Rhodes with anyone other than Savvas!!!!

Savvas was a knowledgeable and friendly guide. He took extra care with our group and made special stops. The place we ate was fantastic and he even had watermelon and feta for us. Our entire group applauded him and his knowledge of the island. Bravo!

Savvas was a great guide, as well as taking us to the main tourist sites he also showed us parts of the island we would never have discovered on our own. He was informative and generous with his time, ensuring we saw everything we wanted to. For us, the highlight was the wonderful lunch at an unassuming spot which delivered a delicious meal from just a BBQ and a tiny kitchen. We would recommend this tour to anyone looking to see the island beyond the usual tourist spots.
