Elephant Rent a Moto’s Staff Picks: Best Places to Visit in Rhodes
Whether you’re chasing sunrise vistas, secluded beaches, or local flavor, Rhodes has it all. Our team has chosen these gems — places that capture the heart and character of the island. Don’t just pass through — explore, feel, and remember.
Lindos & Its Scenic Acropolis
Perched high above the Aegean, Lindos is quintessential Rhodes: whitewashed houses cascading down cliffs, narrow lanes, and the ancient Acropolis overlooking everything. Visit early morning or at dusk for light that bathes the Aegean in gold.
Butterfly Valley (Petaloudes)
In summer, this lush valley comes alive. Thousands of butterflies, winding paths through shade, and the soothing sound of a stream make this a nature lover’s paradise. Perfect for a half-day escape from the heat.
Seven Springs (Epta Piges)
Cool forest trails, wooden bridges, and natural springs hidden among trees — Seven Springs is a peaceful refuge. Bring water shoes if you like, because stepping into the water feels amazing after a morning ride.
Tsambika Beach & Monastery
Golden sand, clear water, and a hilltop monastery with sweeping views. Climb the steps (about 300) for the view—then relax on the beach with an ice-cold drink. Ideal for both culture seekers and beach lovers.
Profitis Ilias & Mountain Villages
For those who love winding roads, olive groves, and traditional villages: head up into the hills. Stop in villages like Salakos and enjoy local tavernas, sweeping views, and the slower pace of Rhodes off the beaten path.
The South Coast & Hidden Shores
Beyond the main tourist spots, the south coastline offers rugged beauty—remote beaches, crystal-clear coves, and dramatic landscapes. Bring your sense of adventure. Off-road vehicles or buggies make this even more memorable.
Rhodes Old Town & Mandraki Harbor
Don’t skip the heart of Rhodes. Wander the medieval walls, explore the cobbled alleys, discover hidden cafes, and watch the boats dock in Mandraki. By evening, let the harbour lights guide you to a waterfront dinner.
Insider Tips from Our Team
- Time your visit: Early morning or late afternoon gives cooler temperatures, gentler light, and fewer crowds.
- Pick the right ride: Scooters or motorcycles for coastal roads and towns; ATVs or buggies for more rugged terrain.
- Local bites: Ask locals where they eat—often in small villages—to find the most authentic food (and best prices).
- Carry essentials: Hat, sunscreen, enough water, maybe a light snack. Some of these spots are more remote than they look.
