Combine Rhodes’ medieval history with easy beach time: a private vehicle tour that circles Mandraki and Monte Smith, stops at Anthony Quinn Bay and Kalithea Springs, then lets you unwind at expansive Faliraki beach. Ideal for travelers who want sightseeing and swimming without the hike.

You pull away from the stone walls of Rhodes Old Town and the harbor breathes salt into the air—Mandraki’s yachts bob as the road loosens into coastline. The private vehicle threads past the medieval fortifications, then climbs toward Monte Smith for a quick panorama where the Temple of Apollo’s ruins watch the sea.
