An amazing experience.
Safari tour on Rhodes island, Greece.
2018–2025 Safari adventures, Uncharted Escapes.
I made two routes, North and South. Those was typical routes at the two parts of the island. For the Cruise ships a simple route. At 2023 an extra tour for National Geographic, Day tours. For first time tours about the local deer Platoni Dama Dama. The tours made by 4x4 trucks Land Rover, Toyotas and Jeeps.
The North route: I start by the North–West coast wherever is the pickup point. I use an example from Ialysos area a hotel. We see the bay of Ialysos at the left, normally windy area by waves in a north-west direction. We enter to the area of Kritika, a Turkish village with Turkish people from Crete island after the Cretan revolution at 1898. Those Turkish people are different kind of the others on the medieval town of Rhodes or at Asgourou village, maybe some of them had a connection by the Turkish people at south Rhodes (Plymmiri area and port). Today different people lives here. A house or a shop near to the beach. After Kritika area, we enter to the city and turn right to the Acropolis, here it is a phenomenon on the rock, anything northern is totally flat, with a salty lake last century, and eastern straight above this natural rock located the northern tower of the medieval castle above the moat. On the Acropolis road we see the nymphaeums left and right and now at the highest point of the Acropolis hill the ruins from the temple of Zeus and his daughter Athena. (The position used on the film Guns on Navarone 1963) we see the meaning of the Acropolis during the tour ACRO the edge ACROBAT, POLIS the town, the edge of the town and you see the city on the left is an amphitheatre, a shape on levels for a view to the five ports and to protect the city from the winds. The shape of the trees on the right side it is from the winds of the area. Only on October is non windy here, when the island prepared for the winter.
