What it's like
Mt Attavyros is the highest point on Rhodes, reaching 1,215 meters. It has no marked path, so walkers pick their own way up from the village of Embonas over steep, loose ground.
A visit starts with a drive. From Embonas you take the road toward Siana and turn up an agricultural road on the left to park. The climb takes two to three hours and runs over steep ground with many large loose rocks. Hikers should keep the descent in mind from the start, since it can be especially tricky.
Good to know
- There is no marked path, so the route is picked over loose rock and needs steady footing.
- The descent can be especially tricky, so plan for the way down as much as the climb.
- Trekking day trips to the island's highest peak are offered from Rhodes, which suits visitors who do not want to find the route alone.
