Mountain Biking Red Water

It was easy communication with Dimitri over whatsup. He picked us up at the cruise port and drove us to this incredible beach and we kayaked for hours. It was absolutely gorgeous. It was my favorite day on our trip to Greece. Water was stunning, the tour was great. He even allowed the kids some extra time when we finished kayaking to do more swimming.

Wonderful day of cycling, thanks so much! The bikes were all Specialized, great condition, we had a choice to either take an easy rout or a more difficult one, which was great! Saw the other part of Rhodes, it’s fascinating olive trees, some as old as 2000 years old! A varied rout with where our guides supplied us with a constant supply of cold water and a fantastic lunch at the top of the mountains. Really memorable experience and a caring guide, totally exhilarating and so worth it!

A most enjoyable day of riding in a variety of terrain to see some of Rhodes away from the crowds. We were picked up on time from the Old City and drove to the beach where the ride started. There were 8 in total on the ride with two guides. The bikes were new mountain bikes and well maintained. The guides took great care to ensure we kept together and never got too separated. The riding was not particularly arduous although there was an optional 800 metre section of climbing that the stronger riders enjoyed. There was a great variety of terrain and landmarks including ornate Greek Orthodox churches, gorges, dry rivers, villages in the hills, and lots of olive trees. There were multiple stops so it never got too hard. We stopped for lunch in the courtyard of a large church in the shade and had a filling and refreshing lunch. It was an impressive site and added to the enjoyment of the meal. We were impressed with guides. They carefully monitored the group to see how we were doing and went at an appropriate speed. They had water stationed at numerous locations so we would have always have cold water in the hot conditions. One of our party fell riding on a paved road in the village. They were properly solicitous and took excellent care of the bit of road rash suffered. Nikos was knowledgeable about the history, geology and plant life in the region. At one point we stopped under the shade of a large tree. He spotted a number of different plants and how explained what they were and how they were used. Overall, highly recommended if you want to see parts of Rhodes away from the beaches.
