The experience

Two hours on a Trikke covers more ground than walking the Medieval City would allow. The 3-wheeled electric scooter handles the uneven surfaces and steep sections of the Old Town without strain, so you move between stops at a pace that lets you actually look around instead of just getting there. Your guide speaks English or Greek and rides alongside, pointing out both the famous spots (Hippocrates Square, the Knights' Street, the Marine Gate), and the smaller neighborhoods locals favor, where the narrow streets feel like stepping into the Knights' era without the crowds.

The route splits into two halves. The first 40 to 45 minutes follows Mandraki Harbor, where you'll see the spot where the Colossus of Rhodes once stood and pass the windmills, lighthouse and St. Nicola's Fortress. The second hour moves into the Medieval City itself, through the St. John's gate, down Socrates Street, past the Panaghia Bourgou church and the Archaeological Museum, with stops to photograph the imposing medieval walls and the view toward the Knights' Castle. The guide stops you at the main sights and the quieter corners, so you see both what makes Rhodes famous and what the people who live there know.

The Trikke handles heat better than walking does, and the headset lets you hear the guide clearly even in the narrow streets where sound bounces. You get a helmet, bottled water, safety instructions at the start and third-party liability insurance. Photos taken during the tour are sent to you after you leave a review. The maximum weight is 110 kg, and children under 12 need to be accompanied.

Is this one for you?The 2-hour pace means you're moving most of the time rather than standing still, so it suits travelers who want to cover both Mandraki Harbor and the Medieval City's main sights in one morning or afternoon without the fatigue of walking narrow streets in the heat. If you prefer a slower, more leisurely pace with longer stops at each site, a walking tour would give you more time to linger.

What is the Colossus of Rhodes and where do you see it on this tour?

The Colossus was a giant bronze statue of the sun god Helios, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, that stood in Mandraki Harbor until an earthquake toppled it around 226 BC. On the tour, you ride past the spot where it once stood during the first 40 to 45 minutes in Mandraki Harbor.

What's the difference between the Medieval City and Mandraki Harbor on this tour?

Mandraki Harbor is the newer town's waterfront, where you see the windmills, lighthouse and St. Nicola's Fortress, and the site of the ancient Colossus. The Medieval City is the Old Town: a UNESCO-listed area of narrow streets, medieval walls, churches and ruins from the Knights' era, where you stop at Hippocrates Square and ride past the Knights' Castle.

How does the Trikke handle the steep and uneven streets of the Old Town?

The 3-wheeled Trikke is designed to navigate various surfaces and slopes without strain. It's powered and stable enough that you don't feel uncomfortable on the steep sections or rough pavement, and the guide will brief you on how to ride safely before you start.

Is hotel pickup included, or do you meet somewhere in Rhodes?

Hotel pickup is not included. You'll meet your guide at a starting point in Rhodes. The operator can confirm the exact meeting location when you book.

What happens if the weather is very hot?

The Trikke is easier on your body than walking in heat. You're moving with the breeze, not on foot under the sun. You get bottled water included, and the tour is suitable for all fitness levels, so you can ride at a comfortable pace through the shaded narrow streets of the Medieval City.
