Overview

The largest of the Dodecanese Islands, the sun-kissed island of Rhodes is steeped in history and smiled upon by Helios, the sun god of Greek legend. It is said that the island was named for the nymph Rodon, who was gifted the island from Helios. Helios was so worshipped here that the triumvirate city-states of Lindos, Kameiros and Ialysos are also named for his grandsons. On this one-week self-guided cycling holiday, you can bask not only in the warmth of Helios’s blessings, but also in that of the authentic Greek hospitality at each of the small family-run guesthouses that are waiting to welcome you.

Exploring on two wheels, you can discover the contrasting landscapes of this beloved island from its endless beaches and sparkling turquoise coves to the peaceful and green interior, and uncover relics of Rhodian history spanning millennia. Staying two nights at each location of Kalavarda on the west coast, Rhodes Town at the north and Archangelos on the east of the island, you have the opportunity to settle in and enjoy your holiday at your own pace. Your holiday ends with a final night in Kalavarda for another chance of sumptuous sunset views before you bid farewell to this charming sun-kissed isle.

You will cycle an average of 40km a day, with ascents of up to 500m with rides along the coast and into the mountainous interior of the island. Most of the cycling is on tarmacked tracks, with some short sections on unpaved roads. In and around Rhodes town, you should also be prepared to share the road with town traffic. E-bike upgrades are also available if you would like the extra pedal power.
