RHODES, the largest of Greece’s Dodecanese islands, is known for its beach resorts, ancient ruins and remnants of its occupation by the Knights of St. John during the Crusades. The city of Rhodes has an Old Town featuring the medieval Street of the Knights and the castle like Palace of the Grand Masters. Captured by the Ottomans and then held by the Italians, the palace is now a history museum. During this cycling trip you’ll cross Rhodes for 8 days, total cycling distance 215 km, and you will get to know this surprisingly green Greek island and its varied landscape. Relaxed and welcoming: the Greek way! There’s a lot to see by bicycle, including Lindos: a medieval town, crowned with a castle and a temple. In the southerly villages you will enjoy a frappe on a terrace under a big fichus. You will cycle alongside blossoming agaves to the Seven Springs and onwards to the castle at Monolithos. You will also make an excursion to the magnificent capital with its historical city centre and knight’s castle. On top of it all, the climate on Rhodes is good throughout the whole year and the sights of the Mediterranean Sea are amazing.
Accommodation with 7 breakfasts and 3 dinners. Transfers from and to Rhodes airport included (without bike). Daily luggage transfer. Route descriptions provided. Service line for any problems with English speaking local co-worker.
