GOJI offers a unique experience to vegan travelers who want to enjoy their holidays following a sustainable and healthy lifestyle.

The first of its kind on the island of Rhodes, GOJI is a newly refurbished, family-run hotel based in a tranquil suburb of Ialyssos. Its quiet location and enclosed garden offer a haven for guests to enjoy delicious meals on the terrace or relax on comfortable loungers beside the pool. Its rooftop yoga platform overlooks the garden and provides an idyllic venue for practicing asana, pranayama and meditation.

The studios feature comfortable king-size beds with carefully selected vegan mattresses, free Wi-Fi, large wardrobes, flat smart TVs, fully equipped kitchenette, mini fridge, and safe deposit. Bathrooms feature a big bathtub.

All furniture, bedding, towels, toiletries and decorative objects have been carefully selected to avoid any animal by-products and comply with the vegan lifestyle.

The 23 square meters modern Standard Studio balcony enjoys a garden view. Each room is decorated with a minimal design and earthy colors to create a relaxing ambience.

Included excursions

Rhodes Town

As you enter through the mighty Sea Gate into Rhodes Old Town, your first port of call is the incredible bakery to sample freshly-brewed morning coffee and tasty pastry baked in the traditional wooden oven. Browse the open view workshop, located between the tables along the narrow cobbled street and the secluded garden—access to the ancient Temple of Aphrodite.

Together, stroll along the busy tourist street of Socratous until you reach the hidden gem where you later meet for lunch. Now your time is your own to explore.

Amble the labyrinth of cobbled streets in Rhodes Old Town. Take time to visit the 14th-century Castle of the Knights of St. John. Sip refreshing frappe in one of the many cafes as you browse among gift shops draped with traditional lace, offering souvenir jars of local olives and jasmine honey.

Wander to bustling Mandraki Harbour, synonymous with the mighty Colossus, which famously towered 33 m high; one of the 7 Wonders of the Ancient World. Beside the water, stalls offer windchime souvenirs made of shells, along with sponge harvested from the Aegean.

You meet again on Socratous to share lunch in a secret garden location. Enjoy the shade of its natural canopy of emerald green vines and branches, while lunch is served to the accompaniment of running water and birdsong.

After your leisurely lunch, travel back to Goji Hotel for a siesta or time by the pool, or you might choose to remain in Rhodes Town for the evening—the choice is yours.

Kallithea Springs: a treat for all the senses

Your entrance fee is included in the visit to Kallithea Springs, a stunning architectural achievement inspired by the natural phenomenon of healing water. Also included: a refreshing fruit smoothie in the bayside restaurant, overlooking the crystal clear waters where sailing boats often drop anchor.

Enjoy beautiful views from the visitor center, now a popular venue for spectacular weddings and events. Discover more about Kallithea Springs from the informative video show, or simply enjoy the pictorial history of its photo gallery - you may recognize images of famous movies and celebrities associated with this spot.

Stroll along meandering pathways that lead through delightful gardens planted with fragrant lavender, jasmine, and rosemary.

Kallithea Springs is a fascinating location for photographers with its rugged landscape, picturesque bay, and flourishing gardens. The restaurant even nestles into the rocky caves—a natural larder and wine cellar!

Psinthos

Lunch is included in your tour to Psinthos.

The scenic tour follows the twisting routes that traverse the pine-clad hills of the island as we climb to Psinthos. Here, you can enjoy a very traditional lunch in a beautiful setting. Relax in this shaded terrace garden and sip a cool drink as your host prepares a feast in the kitchen!

Filerimos

Overlooking Ialyssos is the iconic cross of Filerimos. Set high on the hill of pines and olive trees, this is an idyllic space to practice pranayama and meditation, with natural shade and fragrant fresh air.

Filerimos provides stunning panoramic views across the island, from the east coast to the west.

Entrance to Our Lady of Filerimos Monastery is included. A peaceful stroll provides access to archeology from the Byzantine Knight Church and the ancient Acropolis of Ialyssos, often in the company of peacocks!

A gently climbing path leads to the landmark cross along the Via Dolorosa or Road to Calvary. The breath-taking views often give visitors reason to pause.

A tiny shop and cafe allow you all to enjoy light refreshment as you absorb the beauty of this serene setting.

Tsambika

The tiny Monastery of Our Lady of Tsambika perches high above a long natural bay of pale golden sand, your idyllic beach destination. Each visit will include the use of shoreline reclining sunbeds and umbrellas, perfect for sun-worshippers or those who prefer the shade, along with a refreshing fruit smoothie delivered to you on the beach.

Each visit will also include lunch, shared at the nearby Taverna Tsambika, operated by the same family for generations.

Erected on special decks along the boardwalk, with treatment tables and courtesy curtains, stand incredible spa centre points. Included for your first day at Tsambika, select a relaxing massage from one of the trained therapists.

Your visit to Tsambika provides another exceptional location to nurture pranayama and meditation: the rock pools, sandy shoreline and songbirds provide an extraordinary soundtrack for your practice.

Seven Springs

Fresh water springs converge in the forest to create a waterfall and secluded lake, accessible through a specially constructed tunnel. The Seven Springs restaurant family welcomes visitors to share the natural treasure which they maintain.

Exploring by boat

Picture yourself sailing along the rugged Rhodes coastline. The beautiful blue Aegean Sea is the perfect setting for a little pranayama and meditation!

Now imagine yourself plunging into the turquoise water, swimming in hidden coves and bays, or using a paddleboard to investigate timeless sea caves.

Climb back on board to relax and laze on deck as you navigate between the beauty spots, before you head back to the beach for a delicious lunch.

Together, you enjoy a lazy sail south along the rugged coastline - final details depending on conditions, numbers and preference.

Free days

Evenings are always free to explore the treasures of this mythical island and its fascinating layers of history, and to sample the various delights served at nearby restaurants. For those days when you'd prefer to reserve energy, use your free time to simply lounge lazily beside the pool.
