Getting around Rhodes
Giving you the dimensions of the Rhodes island, I think you will answer for yourself, however, nothing detracts from the fact of always being able to choose the vehicle that best suits your personality and above all your adventurous soul.
Rhodes covers an area of 1400 square kilometers. About a hundred kilometers long from north to south and 38 wide, we can amply state that it is a large island as a result with important distances to cover in terms of timing and commitment.
The whole coast is a continuous of beautiful beaches one after the other that will give you a headache as to which one to choose, especially on the east coast where there is more development. The hinterland is equally fascinating with its valley of butterflies or the seven springs, and still beautiful villages where traditions are still strongly rooted as in the Koskinou village just after the capital where the sunset illuminates the colored houses and gives a particular light, to then get to Afandou founded when the pirates tyrannized the Aegean plundering anything, to then head to Embonas at eight hundred and fifty meters above the sea level, the most remote of Rhodes where the inhabitants still use the local customs to finally get to Prassonissi the extreme tip of the island where the Mediterranean and the Aegean meet and magically unite. There are so many things to see in Rhodes, it is impossible to list them all!
As always on holiday everyone is free to choose how to move, here are the opportunities and our advice:
Car: the most practical and comfortable vehicle ever. Whether you are a family, a couple or a group of friends, it is undoubtedly the best option. All right, it costs more but do you want to be free to organize yourself when and how you like and above all not to waste precious time between one trip to another under the hot temperatures of Rhodes?
If you need to rent a car, write to us at info@meraviglioseisolegreche.com we will make you our best offers relying on renters with whom we have been working for years and who can guarantee you safety, assistance and seriousness.
Scooter: difficult if you were born a motorcyclist to give up two wheels. Obviously, nothing and nobody forbids it, but it's better to focus on engine capacities of at least 150 cc upwards so as to be able to reach the goals in the shortest possible time. If, on the other hand, you are not interested in exploring the island, even a 50 cc can be enough to go from your accommodation to the beach or to some interesting coast nearby.
Quad: certainly fun and also appropriate in Rhodes as there are many off-road tracks, also in this case opt for a minimum of a 250 cc
Public transport: the mythical Ktel company can help you out, serving the public network very well even in remote locations. Check, plan your travels well in order to organize yourself in the best possible way and see as many things as possible.
