Steep climb to the top but worth it. Was worried about the site due to other reviews I had read but was glad I visited this site, some early nineteenth century rebuilds but not enough to spoil the site as a whole, can be a bit tricky underfoot so some caution needed, amazing views from the top. Worth the trek and €12 entry. Bar not open outside the gate so would advise take a drink. A must if you are in rhodes

We've travelled to Halki via Rhodes Airport over 20 times. always using Rhodes Experience/MBC Travel for our transfers by coach, minibus or taxi and then via ferry via Kamiros Scala. The company has also arranged accommodation for us on the odd occasion our flights have been delayed. In all those years there has never been a hitch, a marvel in itself! Staff are efficient, professional and courteous and have always been extremely helpful. Highly recommended.

What a fun and informative way to see and learn about Rhodes old town. We are in our 50's and thoroughly enjoyed doing this trail. The clues are sometimes a little taxing, well for my holiday brain they were, but still lots of fun and informative. We were disappointed when the trail finished we wanted more.

Kos reached probably it's peak during the Roman and Hellinistic Period, and became a center of shops and commerce and a great port. Some fabulous villas with mosaics floors is a nice discover in the ancient Agora; If you visit the nice mountain Dikaios, ca. (847 m) , and the charming village Zia is very close to the mountain; a very romantic village with small narrow streets, many little shops, or visit the Monastery of Spondi; the panoramic views of the whole of Kos or also see the wonderful sunset from Zia, will be a super experience.

My wife and I booked this tour, but were able to customize it since we had already visited Butterfly Valley. Vasilis picked us up and took us to a few beautiful locations that we hadn't heard of before, giving us plenty of time to look around and providing information as we went along. The wine tasting itself was really nice, at a family-run winery. Since the winery is currently not providing lunch every day, we were taken to a little traditional cantina on the beach where we had a fantastic selection of Greek food, that Vasilis picked out for us based on what we like. All in all a really great experience, both for the locations you'll visit and for the friendly, knowledgeable guide. Highly recommend.
