Getting around Rhodes is straightforward with several excellent tour options. The Medieval City walking tours are my favorite – they’re intimate and informative, led by passionate local guides who know every stone and story of the UNESCO site. For those with limited time, the hop-on hop-off buses efficiently cover major attractions with good commentary.
I’m particularly fond of the Lindos combination tours, which smartly pair the ancient acropolis with nearby beaches. History buffs shouldn’t miss the expert-guided archaeological tours of the Old Town – they’re well-paced and packed with insights.
For something different, trikke tours (three-wheeled electric vehicles) offer a fun way to zip through the newer parts of Rhodes Town, though traditional walking tours give you the best feel for the medieval streets.
Let’s look at the most worthwhile tours to make the most of your Rhodes visit.
