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.

Overview of your Rhodes tour

Begin your journey with a scenic drive along the Loutanis River to the tranquil Seven Springs Valley. Hidden in a shady pine forest, this peaceful oasis features crystal springs, graceful peacocks, and an underground tunnel leading to a serene lake. Continue inland to Fountoukli, home to the 15th-century Byzantine Chapel of St. Nicholas, renowned for its vibrant frescoes and spiritual ambiance. Ascend Mount Prophet Elias, rising 700 meters above sea level, and relax at Elafos, a charming Tyrolean-style lodge built during the Italian occupation. Descending from the mountains, arrive at Embonas, the island’s most famous wine-producing village, and taste local Rhodian varieties shaped by the island’s warm climate. Follow a picturesque route to Kritinia Castle, an imposing medieval fortress overlooking the Aegean Sea, offering panoramic views of nearby islands. Conclude your day with a traditional lunch at a local taverna. * This tour is available for groups of more than four guests at an additional cost.
