From Kritinia village to the secluded beach of Glyfada

Kritinia village is one of the most unspoiled villages of the Island. From there, you can hike your way with panoramic sea views down to the turquoise water of Glyfada beach walking through the pinewoods. A pleasant hike through the quiet pinewood forest reveals a secluded sunny beach with its white pebbles and turquoise waters where you can swim and soak the day away, far from the crowds and noise. Relax away from it all on this private, guided hiking trip and enjoy an authentic lunch of Greek recipes with fresh home-grown vegetables at the seaside tavern.

BOOK THIS TOUR

We had such a great time visiting the west side of Rhodes. Hiking the route to Glyfada beach was absolutely amazing! The path through the forest was so beautiful, our guide Alexis was very friendly and make us all feel his own enthusiasm. At the beach there was a small taverna and Mr. Savvas (the owner) prepared for us a Greek salad with eggs and fries... so fresh and delicious all! I would definitely recommend this daytrip. Thanks, RhodeTrip for the moments!
