Wonderful monastery and surroundings!
I began my journey from the foot of the mountain where the trail begins in Kolymbia.
I found myself easily straying away from the path and eventually finding my way on track again - an imitation in life. When reaching the pinnacle I lit and candle and prayed. Within the next 24 hours and on my last day 27/10/24 I had a vision appear to me.
The monastery of Tsampika is most definitely sacred.
If doing the trail - take water, appropriate footwear, and take regular breaks to be safe and assess your route.
I hope Monolithos also in the future will be the excellent spot for observation of the night sky that it is today. Light pollution increases all the time and there are less and less places in Europe from where the starry sky can be seen in all it´s glory. I have travelled to Monolithos for stargazing and also had friends with me to enjoy the skies. They were astonished to see the Milky Way, had never seen it before!
Impressive little ruin great views and lovely walk around it
A highly recommended destination that offers a wonderful panoramic view!
Admirable and definitely worth supporting! Hats off to the operators.
Had a wonderful holiday there in June in Rhodes town. The people were so friendly and the scenery breathtaking. It was my second visit there and hope to return again next year.
I have visited Agathi beach many times since 2003. The reviews here are accurate and fair,but 2024 was different no canteens or restaurants. No sunbeds, toilets or any other facilities. The showers worked, but that was it. It is still the wonderful beach it has always been. Make sure you take all you need with you.
This year 2024, it is all back to square one again at Agathi. No shops, sunbeds or cantines. Not even working toilets unfortunatelly. But this beautiful beach is still a perfect place to spend a day, swimming, snorkling or just relaxing in the sun. The road getting there is still a mayor issue but go slow and have a nice day at Agathi.
Ancient Ialyssos in Rhodes is a must-visit! The historic ruins, including the Temple of Athena Polias and the early Christian basilica, are fascinating. The stunning views from Filerimos hill add to the charm. Perfect for history lovers and anyone seeking a unique cultural experience. Highly recommended!
