On the Aegean's eastern, edge the Dodecanese present perfect Greek vistas of whitewashed walls, turquoise blue skies and seas. Island-hopping by ferry, hydrofoil or catamaran is a splendid way to get into the leisurely pace. Once docked, you'll find many of these twelve idyllic islands are easily explored on foot. Don't miss Rhodes' Acropolis, the ruins of ancient Kamiros and Valley of the Butterflies or Kos' Askepion ruins. Tiny Patmos is known for the cave of St. John of the Apocalypse.

The best part of the trip was swimming at the beach with the Temple of Poseidon perched above. Our driver, Sotiris, was funny and informative. He made the trip even more memorable.

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.

Booked the tour through Nicholas for the day were we docked in Rhodes on a cruise. He provided very good communication prior to the day's excursion. He was at the dock along with driver Michael to meet us. Michael was a safe driver and shared knowledge about a vast variety of things. He was a very pleasant day which the four of us are still talking about! Nicholas even called my cell phone near the end of our day with Michael to make sure all was going well. HIGHLY recommend this!

We booked the private trip to Lindos directly with the company which was a shot walk from the hotel. Wow, what a day - absolutely recommend! The air conditioned mini van was very high quality which made for a really comfortable trip on the hottest day of our holiday. It was who Manos made this excursion so great, his knowledge of the history of the island was really interesting and his passion for Rhodes was clear! We went to Lindos first and were able to stop on the way for some great photo opportunities. We had a good 3 hours in Lindos do wander round and choose what we wanted to do. On the way back we asked if we could stop somewhere different as we had visited Rhodes old town often on our own. Manos took us to Ostria Beach which was just lovely, we stopped at a little bar and had cocktails, the perfect way to spend a sunny Sunday. We all had a great day and have no hesitation recommending the company. When we come back to Rhodes, and we will, we will absolutely book more trips with Manosgoing!

Rhodes Islanders are a great choice for transfers. Very courteous drivers, prompt service and good value. There were 7 of us so had a mini van and in these difficult times van was very clean, which is so important. Also if it hadn’t of been for their email regarding Greek air strike on the day we were due to fly we wouldn’t have known as Easyjet didn’t email us until much later. Thoroughly recommend and will definitely use again next year.
