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 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. The transportation was comfortable the whole way, and it seemed like Mike knew literally everyone we passed! It really gave the day a local, welcoming feel. What made this tour stand out was how customized it was. Mike gave us options along the way and let us choose what we wanted to do. We opted for the wine tasting, which was amazing, and even more special because we got to meet the actual namesake of the vineyard. Such a cool, unexpected touch. He also took us to see one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, which was incredible to experience in person. For lunch, Mike had the best spot on the beach lined up, with a great party atmosphere and plenty of time to relax and take pictures. One of the highlights of the day was a niche spot overlooking Anthony Quinn Bay, where we got some truly one of a kind photos. Overall, this tour felt so personal and well thought out. If you want a guide who treats you like a friend and shows you the island through local eyes, I'd highly recommend Mike!

I contacted guides at tours by local to see if anyone could arrange a special, private cooking class for me. There were seven of us who wanted to go to a grandma, a Greek Grandma's home and learn to cook with her all the different dishes from Greek cuisine. That would be fun to make. We went there, and had the time of our lives. We made three appetizers, a main dish, and had dessert. We made it all in their outdoor kitchen and watched them use a Wood-Fired oven to cook everything. We then got to eat at their outside dining room with the view of the city below us. What could be a more wonderful time in Greece! You talking about Texas?

Mike is a great guide. We did this tour as a shore excursion. Our cruise ship stayed overnight in Rhodes, and we had done a walking tour of the Medieval walled city on our first day. We wanted to see more of the island on our second day, and Mike's tour was perfect for that. Kallithea Springs is lovely and interesting. At Anthony Quinn's Bay, we got cold drinks in a cliff-top bar and spent time admiring the beautiful cove. We enjoyed a delicious lunch and some good wines at Anastasia's Winery (for a reasonable extra cost). At the Valley of Butterflies, Mike dropped us off at the top of the trail and picked us up at the bottom. That trail was longer than we realized. It has hundreds of steps, but there's a good railing all the way down, so we made it OK despite our advanced age and gimpy knees. I highly recommend this tour.

Thank you, Mike, for making our visit to Rhodes a fantastic day. Your explanations about the island, your recommendations, and your support during the tour truly stand out. We’ll also remember Tulum Beach Club and the wonderful time we had there!

Beautiful day with Mike. Mike spoke excellent English and took us to places a bus tour could never have gone. Delightful to be with and so proud of his Origins. Highly recommend for a peaceful and most enjoyable day. One of our best days on our Mediterranean cruise.

Your Rhodes tour itinerary

Start your day at Kallithea Springs, a favorite island highlight. Built in elegant Italian style, it features pebble mosaics, lush gardens, and a tranquil atmosphere. Known since antiquity for its healing waters, it’s now a top spot for swimming and snorkeling. Continue along the east coast to Anthony Quinn Bay, a stunning cove with emerald waters — perfect for relaxing or snorkeling. During peak season, this stop may be skipped. Follow scenic inland roads to the Valley of the Butterflies, open from mid-June to mid-September, where thousands of colorful tiger moths flutter among shaded streams. Next, visit Anastasia’s Winery to taste local wines, olive oil, and honey. Your final stop is Ancient Ialysos on Mount Filerimos, home to the Church of Our Lady and the Temple of Athena. Walk the Path of the Cross to a massive stone cross with commanding Aegean views before returning to Rhodes Town.
