Rhodes E-Bike Photo-Stop Tour: Old Town, New Town & Acropolis Ride
Ride an electric cycle through Rhodes’ Old Town, New Town and the Acropolis with photo stops and a local guide. This two-hour e-bike tour covers historic landmarks, cobbled lanes and a short hilltop view, with helmets and edited photos included.
The Experience
Before You Go
Watch for cobbles in the Old Town
Slow down on cobblestones and step one foot down when stopping — traction is reduced and surfaces are uneven.
Bring a refillable water bottle
Hydration stations are limited on the route; there's a complimentary coffee or lemonade at the end but carry water for the ride.
Dress for sun and wind
A lightweight wind layer and sunscreen are useful — hilltop viewpoints can be windier than the harbor.
Tell them your cruise arrival time
Operators can adjust start times to match cruise schedules; message ahead to avoid tight turnarounds.

Conservation Note

Rhodes’ Old Town reflects centuries of occupation — Byzantine foundations with major Gothic contributions from the Knights of St. John who fortified the city in the 14th–15th centuries.
