What to do and see in Rhodes, South Aegean: The Best City Tours

January 1, 2022 Jacquiline Delozier

The largest of the twelve Dodecanese islands on the Aegean's eastern edge, Rhodes is also its most popular. The well-preserved medieval city of Rhodes sits at the north of the island of the same name. High rise hotels line the northern and eastern coastlines. Small villages and resorts dot the island's other shores. Whether your interests are beaches, bars or ancient sites, Rhodes offers an abundance of all three. Authentic Greece can be found in the hilly interior of the 50-mile-long island.

Steep climb to the top but worth it. Was worried about the site due to other reviews I had read but was glad I visited this site, some early nineteenth century rebuilds but not enough to spoil the site as a whole, can be a bit tricky underfoot so some caution needed, amazing views from the top. Worth the trek and €12 entry. Bar not open outside the gate so would advise take a drink. A must if you are in rhodes

The route starts from the Haraki fisherman village and passes from the beach site, the ancient olive grove of Massari and through Malona's orange grove. A stop at the village’s main church gives cyclists the chance to briefly stroll around the village and recover a little, also to savor Greek snacks. We then continue by cycling next to the course of the Gadoura River heading towards the source of the river and the small, but impressive Red Water gorge.Leaving the source of the river behind, we pass through a forest of olive and orange trees .Heading towards Gadoura bridge built in the 1930s, we have the chance to explore some old battlements from the Second World War.Our cyclists can rest for a short time next to the old Italian bridge. This route also takes us past the runway of an old airport, the beach of Agia Agathi and the Feraklos Byzantine and medieval castle. The beach is the ideal place to finish the ride, enjoy a refreshing dip in the deep blue waters of Haraki beach.

Inclusions: Bottled water, Light Greek meal, Tour escort/host, Activity guiding, Hotel/port pickup and drop-off, Use of bicycle, Use of helmet, Snacks

Toll organiziert, tolle guides und natürlich die Strände, Höhlenführung und Tag im Wasser waren einfach spitze. Man sieht eine ganz andere Seite von der Insel. Jeder kann mitmachen da man sich auch mit dem Guide ein Kayak teilen kann. Hotel pickup/return ist auch dabei so man kann wirklich ganz entspannt mitmachen. _________________ Was a great day on the water. From pickup to return, the tour was well organizied and you were well taken care of by the guide. The beaches you reach from the water were quiet with clear waters. Snorklening and cave exploring were highly enjoyable, but seeing the island from the water was amazing. The cliffs, the rock formations, it was such a cool way to experience Rhodes and better understand the history.

Rhodes Islanders are a great choice for transfers. Very courteous drivers, prompt service and good value. There were 7 of us so had a mini van and in these difficult times van was very clean, which is so important. Also if it hadn’t of been for their email regarding Greek air strike on the day we were due to fly we wouldn’t have known as Easyjet didn’t email us until much later. Thoroughly recommend and will definitely use again next year.
