Overview

This 8-day self-guided tour explores the beautiful Rhodes, part of Greece’s Dodecanese Islands. Take your time exploring and cycling at your own pace on this pre-planned route so that you don’t miss any of the unique historical sites or charming villages. This trip has you cycling the entire northern part of the island. This includes focused rides that visit areas in-depth, like medieval ruins and local tavernas, so you can absorb the local culture. You’ll also take longer rides where you can simply enjoy the stellar coastline as you journey between towns. Your luggage will be transferred for you between hotels, so all you need to worry about is packing your picnic lunch and seeing where the roads take you. The Explore Rhodes by Bike Tour promises to be an unforgettable journey! The tour includes a 6-kilometer self-guided walking tour that explores all the sites and secrets of Rhodes town, or an alternative option to take the ferry to the island of Symi and take a 23-kilometer bike ride to explore the coastline, capital, and monastery of this beautiful island. Day 2 involves cycling the remote northwest coastline, riding through the remains of Kamiros, with a stop in Mandriko for coffee, and visiting the charming fishing port of Skala Kamiros and the medieval fortress of Kritinia.

Day 3's route goes through the valley of Petaloudes, known for thousands of butterflies in summer, and then through Maritsa and Pastida before reaching the medieval city of Rhodes. Day 5 focuses on cycling along the tranquil east coast beaches, visiting Kalithea with its ancient Turkish baths, Afandou, and the Monastery of Tsambika before arriving in Archangellos.
