What to do and see in Dodecanese, South Aegean: The Best Sightseeing Tours

November 12, 2021 Franklyn Hardiman

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.

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!

Thank you, Simi, for this wonderful experience. It was the best time my family and some friends had during our holiday on Rhodos. The boat was so big that it could easily accommodate 10 people. We had a good time jumping in the water, eating good food and learning a lot from Simi. Hope to have the chance to do it again.

MICHAEL, is by far the bestl driver we ever had, he moved with his car through the small streets of Rhodes as if it was a bike. We were on a cruise and had only a short stop in Rhodes; he showed us the beautiful coastline and told us the most interesting details of the isle, thus ensuring a wonderful, extremely-interesting time, He is very kind and thoughtful. He offered me some flowers from a typical tree in Rhodes; they lasted for several days during our trip as a nice memory to the beauty of Greece.
