★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 351 reviews · 2h 18m · from $46

Ride with Christos and a small group of up to six through Rhodes Old and New Town, medieval lanes, Mandraki Harbour, the former Colossus site, and Monte Smith. E-bikes handle hills and cobbles, while the sunset tour ends at a scenic coastal viewpoint. Morning tours focus on photos and cooler riding.

“Christos was a fabulous guide and this bike tour is so worth doing as it is a great way to orientate yourself to the town of Rhodes. The old town inside the castle is vast with cobbled streets, alleyways and hidden squares. You would not find these places without Christos and cycling saves your feet! The E bikes are easy to manage and the sunset at the end was spectacular .”

So when I saw the option to have a photoshoot with a professional photographer in front of some of my favourite landmarks in Rome, I decided to treat myself.
