    What you'll see and do

    1. Filerimos Monastery

      Once everybody has been picked up by our minibus the tour proceeds to the first stop where we can enjoy the views that this area offers as we drive on the Filerimos Hill. In the antiquity, at the top of the hill once stood the acropolis of the Ancient Ialysos. In the 14th century the knights of St John who were ruling the island built the monastery which is visited in nowdays. Also, opposite of the Monastery entrance there is a pathway that leads to the westernmost point of the hill where the 16 m or 48 feet cross is. At the end of the path you can admire the panoramic view the point offers.

    2. Valley of the Butterflies

      Then we drive at Butterfly Valley where you can notice a rare habitat that hosts the butterfly Panaxia Quadripunctaria, which makes its appearance in this unique natural park in the period from mid-June to late September. We make sure we arrive early so we can see the valley when it's quiet and peaceful before other tour groups get there. The valley consists of pine-clads, crossed by a stream, shady paths, forming ponds, wooden bridges and small waterfalls in its course.

    3. Campochiaro

      We continue to the ‘’ghost’’ village of Aghia Eleousa in the green forest of Profitis Ilias mountain. In the period around the World War II, when Rhodes was still Italian, the village created for Italians lumberjacks who had moved here for the needs of the army. Later, when the Italians left, it was a sanatorium for the chronically ill. However, since the 70s the sanatorium has been closed and in nowdays, at the main square, opposite the main church of Agia Eleousa, you can see this abandoned building.

      15 minutes here

    4. Agios Nikolaos Fountoukli

      2 km furthermore appears in front of us the small chapel of St Nikolas Fountoukli. You can refresh yourselves by drinking water of one of the cleanest and rich natural water sources of the island which is right in the front of the chapel and after you can visit the internal of the church, light a candle and notice the painted of St Nikolas family picture on the wall. We continue driving in the green forest of Prof. Ilias mountain to Apollona and we stop to the other side of the mountain where the village of Apollona is. Optionally, you can taste local foods and products in a traditional family tavern away of busy tourist places.

      90 minutes here

    5. Monolithos Castle

      Then, we drive to the south-west side of the island, to the medieval Castle of Monolithos. The castle was built in 1480 by the Knights of Saint John to protect the island from attacks and in nowdays offers great views of the sea and the two islets opposite to it. Inside the Castle, there is a small working chapel dedicated to Agios Panteleimon (Saint Pantaleon). 5km on the way to the east coast we find the honey-village of Sianna which is a hilly village built in the banks of Attaviros. It is a traditional village with beautiful houses and the high attitude give picturesque landscapes. Distinguishes for the developed apiculture. Its pure honey is considered the best in the island. You can have the chance to try it!!!

      45 minutes here

    6. Village of Lindos

      We drive to the east coast and on our way back we meet Lindos. Possibly, you have already been there or you have scheduled it, as Lindos is the third most popular archaeological site in Greece. We stop for photos to the right opposite the village viewpoint and drive back to your hotels.

    Incredible East Coast Cruise and Stress-Free Transfers

    This was the absolute highlight of our trip to Rhodes! We booked a private yacht tour along the stunning eastern side of the island with GREtour, and it was a truly unforgettable day on the water. The highlights were the incredible swimming stops at the crystal-clear waters of Kallithea and the breathtaking Anthony Quinn Bay. The crew went above and beyond to make our day perfect, providing attentive, first-class service and sharing great local knowledge while making sure we had everything we needed.GREtour's private airport transfer service was also fantastic, with clean, comfortable vehicles and highly professional, punctual drivers who made our travel completely stress-free. The hospitality throughout the entire experience was so warm and genuine that they instantly made us feel like valued guests. If you want a relaxed, authentic, and completely seamless experience on the island, you have to book with GREtour. Thank you for making our trip so special!

    If you need a taxi/minibus or tour, I'd recommend this company to make it a memorable experience.

    We first met Georges when he picked eleven of us up at the airport to transfer us to our villa for a Hen Away holiday. The minibus was perfect and he provided us with bottles of water which was so welcome in the heat of the evening. We then booked him to taxi us everywhere during our five day trip. He was courteous, respectful and so helpful and informative. He advised best places to go and was so patient with us as sometimes we got a little overexcited. He was good-humoured and just very relaxed. He was always punctual and if he couldn't be there he made sure someone else was there to take care of us. I would highly recommend GreTour to make you feel looked after and safe.

    I do not recommend using this company

    I booked a ride through the company's website vip taxi for 11 peoples and was contacted shortly after by a representative who confirmed the trip. From the beginning, the interaction felt unprofessional and gave me a sense of unease, though I was told not to worry – something that, in hindsight, was clearly a mistake. On the way to the airport, the driver did not wait for us as promised, and we had to search for him outside the terminal. He assured us that we would reconfirm the return trip the evening before our flight back. However, I was the one who had to initiate contact to confirm, and I specifically requested a certain time, clearly indicating that the ride was to the terminal for our return flight. On the morning of the return ride, we were informed of a delay of over two hours. I contacted the company immediately, and they told me they had tried to find alternatives but couldn’t – so they had no choice but to cancel the ride. They explicitly promised a partial refund for the canceled return trip. Several days after returning from the trip, I followed up about the refund, only to be told that a refund required separate approval – and that they were not willing to provide it. While I understand that the short notice might not justify a full refund, completely backing out after promising reimbursement shows that their word cannot be trusted. To avoid disappointment and stress, I do not recommend using this company.

    Response from the operator: Dear mr Alon, Thank you for your feedback, and we sincerely apologize for the delayed response. After a thorough investigation, we would like to clarify a few important points regarding your experience. Firstly, we found no formal refund request submitted to our office. The only mention of a refund came verbally through the driver, which unfortunately does not meet the procedure required, in result needs time as the case is depriorotized. Secondly, it’s important to note that the booking made was not for a VIP service, but rather a standard minibus transfer. This may have led to a misunderstanding regarding the level of service expected. Concerning the arrival pickup, our driver was monitoring your flight and besides the confusion you created giving faulty estimated landing times, he was waiting in the vehicle near the terminal to minimize walking for your group. Contrary to your claim, the driver was in contact with you and pickup occurred directly outside the arrivals gate with less than one minute of delay. Regarding the return transfer: although our cancellation policy allows for full refunds only when cancellations are made at least 24 hours in advance, our driver still attempted to assist by promising a partial refund just two hours before the scheduled pickup. However, the cancellation occurred only 26 minutes before the pickup time, by which point the driver was already en route to your hotel. As a result, a refund could not be processed. We understand your frustration, and we truly regret that this experience did not meet your expectations. We strive to serve our customers with transparency and reliability, and we are always open to constructive feedback to improve. Thank you again for bringing this matter to our attention. Kind regards, Asteropi Georga

    Private Island Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rhodes.

    How much does Private Island Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $359 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Rhodes usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Private Island Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Rhodes is not rushed.

    Is Private Island Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 32 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Rhodes, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Private Island Tour?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Private Island Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Private Island Tour?

    +

    Around 11 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Rhodes can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Rhodes and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Private Island Tour start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Rhodes within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Rhodes?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Rhodes experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Makarounas Fishing Boat Trip with swimming stop and BBQ on board, Rhodes Exclusive Swim Cruise Cocktail Open bar & Gourmet Buffet, Athens cruise: Agistri, Moni/Metopi, Aegina with lunch & drinks. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Rhodes?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Rhodes?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
