DESCRIPTION OF THE EXCURSION

One of the most charming destinations of Rhodes Seven Springs (35 minutes driving from the City) is a scenic nature spot located on the East part of Rhodes island. It is named after the seven natural springs that flow into a small lake, creating a peaceful oasis amidst the surrounding pine forests. The springs, with their crystal – clear waters, contribute to the lush greenery and vibrant ecosystem of the area.

Visitors to Seven Springs can enjoy a tranquil walk along shaded pathways that wind through the forest, crossing wooden bridges and passing by babbling streams. The cool, refreshing ambiance makes it a popular retreat from the summer heat.

Our buses always stop on the main road of Seven Springs and the driver will show you the stone – paved path to the Springs which is 10 minutes walking per way and he will also inform you with the exact time of your return. Your free time to 7 Springs is 1.5 hour which is enough time to discover around the area.

The access to the lake is very popular for visitors and its a unique experience. If you feel adventurous enough, you can walk through a 186 meters long very narrow dark tunnel to get to the lake. The tunnel, constructed back in 1931 and leads the water of the seven springs and river Loutanis to the lake. Walking through the dark tunnel with your feet in the running fresh water is an exciting experience but don’t try it if you are claustrophobic. As an alternative route you can simply follow a walking path to the lake.

The area also offers amenities such a coffee shop where visitors can enjoy a refreshing drink while appreciating the nature beauty. The forest is suitable for those who like walking around and it is common to sea peacocks roaming freely in this area, adding a touch of charm to the ambiance.
