    The Highlight of Our Rhodes Holiday

    We had an incredible time with our guide, Manuela, from Hiking Rhodes Team. This was by far the best thing we did during our holiday in Rhodes! We escaped the hustle and bustle and headed to beautiful Monolithos for a three-hour hike, finishing at Monolithos Castle in time to watch the sunset. Manuela was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and kind throughout. We were also provided with snacks, water and a beautiful Greek picnic to enjoy while watching the sunset. The hike itself was perfect for beginners. We stopped halfway for a refreshing dip in the sea before continuing on to the castle, with plenty of time to find a spot and enjoy the sunset. The route was absolutely beautiful, surrounded by pine and olive trees. One of the highlights was being welcomed by a huge group of goats halfway through the hike! You could hear all the bells hanging from their collars, ringing together like an orchestrated band, such a lovely and unexpected moment. I would 100% recommend this hike to anyone visiting Rhodes. A huge thank you to Manuela for such a wonderful experience! We really hope to join another hike with you in the near future. Perfect for fit and healthy beginners. Before the hike, we also ate at a small local restaurant called Greek House, which produces its own wine, olive oil, honey and souma. It was the perfect way to round off a brilliant day exploring this beautiful part of Rhodes.

    The best guided hike in your life

    Me and my husband booked this tour only a few days in advance and fortunately we were the only ones on it. The best guided hiking experience in our lives. We got picked up from the hotel by our Guide, Manuela, and we drove together straight to the starting point of a hike. The route was sooo picturesque - with lots of great spots for photos and simply to enjoy a wilder and calmer part of Rhodes. We had an hour long stop at a secluded beach with giant (as for the sea) waves and NO sunbeds/people on the beach and it was INCREDIBLE! No tourists, no noise,- just you, black sand and a sound of strong big waves. Like a dream. The sunset on Monolithos castle was majestic. I strongly urge everyone who’s considering this hike to book it ASAP, you will not be disappointed. Manuela also brought some food she gave us at the monolithos to enjoy together with the sunset - we had cheese with olives, juice (there was an option to have some wine, but we are both non-drinkers, so we had juice) and a greek snack. We did, however, have a lunch packed in advance we ate at the beach, I would recommend you do the same mainly because of the duration of the hike - the pick-up from Faliraki was around 1:20pm and we got back around 9:30pm - so bring some food and water. Manuela is an amazing woman, we loved spending this day with her. We learned a lot of things about Greece, the island itself and of course some interesting and important history :) I do hope you get to experience this hike if you’re on Rhodes - you will NOT be disappointed. Thank you!

    A Perfect Way to Experience Rhodes Beyond the Beaches

    If you do just one thing in Rhodes, make it a hike. The company not only offers the beautiful Monolithos route we took but also several others worth exploring. Our guide, Manuela, was fantastic—personable, knowledgeable about the trail itself, and full of fascinating insights into life on the island. The beach break for a swim was the perfect way to cool off, followed by a relaxing coffee by the sea. We did this hike on our last day, which was the only regret—we would have loved the chance to join more of their hikes!

    Really good workout in amazing scenery

    Our group was just me and my hubby with Manuela. Firstly we were picked up from our hotel. The drive to our starting point was ok. Then we hiked for about 9 km: down to a beautiful beach and then back up to Monolithos to see the sunset. The weather was hot but we had enough breaks to make sure we were hydrated. The beach was really nice. And the sunset was amazing. I recommend this but make sure you have good shoes and you are in relatively good shape. Hiking up and down mountains in hot weather is not for everyone. But we really enjoyed this!

    Beautiful hike to Monolithos castle

    We had a wonderful trip to the sunset at Monolithos for four hours with our great guide Manuela. Beautiful landscape and very good organisation with stops to drink and eat and some great place at a hidden beach to swim in big Aegean waves. Beautiful sunset at Monolithos castle and many helpful information from Manuela about Rhodes, it’s people and history. Don’t miss it!

    Small Group Hiking Sunset in Monolithos: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Small Group Hiking Sunset in Monolithos cost?

    +

    Prices start at $55 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 Small Group Hiking Sunset in Monolithos take?

    +

    Plan for about 4 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 Small Group Hiking Sunset in Monolithos worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 35 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 Small Group Hiking Sunset in Monolithos?

    +

    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 Small Group Hiking Sunset in Monolithos suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Small Group Hiking Sunset in Monolithos?

    +

    Around 12 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Small Group Hiking Sunset in Monolithos 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, Athens cruise: Agistri, Moni/Metopi, Aegina with lunch & drinks, Rhodes Sea Kayaking Tour – The Pirates Route. 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.

    What is included in Small Group Hiking Sunset in Monolithos?

    +

    Included: Private transportation; Hiking equipment; Bottled water; and Snacks. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Small Group Hiking Sunset in Monolithos include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 442 listed pickup locations in and around Rhodes. Be ready about 120 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Small Group Hiking Sunset in Monolithos offered in?

    +
