Attention beach and adventure lovers!
Here is your rare opportunity to experience the best of Greece without worrying about missing out on anything. We have a 7-day itinerary all prepared for you that includes some yoga, Greece's top-voted beaches, water sports, horseback riding, private yachting, and amazing sunsets! All this, while staying at a luxurious villa with its own pool just steps away from a private beach. See more details regarding your villa here: https://kiotaribliss.com!
Enjoy your mornings with healthy breakfast from town while lounging on the super-spacious balconies and being mesmerized with views of the crystal clear Mediterranean water. Follow the group for a day trip to a different beach, town or island (!), or stay at the villa and relax at the pool. At night, spend some time around the pool or on the balconies to view the thousands of stars that are always visible in the Rhodian sky. The property is walking distance to convenience stores, super markets, pharmacies and restaurants.
Most days will start early in the AM and be filled with activities and lots of time to relax as well. Our primary goal is to make sure you experience the best of what the Dodecanese islands have to offer in a group environment, while allowing you time to wander around or complete the activities at your own pace. We will do everything possible to provide you with more value than you could ever expect!
Your host is a Greek native that has been living in NYC for over 20 years and speaks Greek and English fluently.
Rhodes is the 4th largest island in Greece, and is the largest of the Dodecanese (group of 12 islands). It's widely considered the sunniest place in Europe! Historically, it was very famous worldwide for the Colossus of Rhodes, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The Medieval Old Town of the City of Rhodes has been declared a World Heritage Site. Today, it is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Europe. Our villa is located on the South East part of the island in an exquisite town with 5 star resorts and pebble beaches with crystal clear waters!
