Embark on a magical journey to 7 Springs, one of Rhodes' most captivating locales, where the wonder of nature merges with enchanting mystique! Hidden amidst vibrant greenery, this secluded oasis offers a tranquil haven with its sparkling waters and peaceful atmosphere.

Calling all adventurers, did you get that hint? :-) Moreover, for those seeking the fabled elixir of life, imbibing from each of the seven springs is said to reverse time by seven years. Hence, gather your adventurous spirit and plunge into the invigorating, sin-erasing waters of 7 Springs. Remember to explore the waterfall and capture some breathtaking snapshots. Who would have thought the keys to perpetual youth and a cleansed soul were merely a click, a journey through a tunnel, and a few draughts away? :-)

Driving through Mt. Profitis Ilias in Rhodes unveils a verdant haven, where ancient olive, fig, and plane trees encircle a charming stone church. This bewitching tableau, nestled at the mountain's summit, emanates an almost otherworldly charm. The 15th-century St. Nikolaos Foundoukli, distinguished by its distinctive stone construction and quadruple apses, stands as a medieval treasure. The church's interior walls burst into life with stunning frescoes that illustrate the Christological cycle, the four Evangelists, and a variety of saints, all woven together with elaborate artistic patterns, establishing it as a mesmerizing highlight of the island. Beside the church, a cozy park and a spring known for dispensing the finest drinking water on the island—a fact, rather than a mere tourist tale—await your discovery. Do not miss the chance to experience the exceptional quality of this water. Amidst this tranquil environment, a splendid floor mosaic featuring a duo of deer invites admiration
