Rhodes Old Town Segway Tour: Explore Medieval City Highlights

Summary

Guided Segway Ride Through Rhodes Medieval Streets

Hop on a Segway and discover Rhodes City’s medieval secrets with a local guide. You’ll cover more ground, hear real stories, and catch details you’d miss on foot.

What’s the experience like?

Right from the first minute, the salty breeze from Mandraki Harbour hit me. Our guide, Maria, handed out the Segway Minis—honestly, I was a bit nervous, but after a quick demo, it felt like second nature. We zipped past the deer statues, where she pointed to the exact spot folks say the Colossus once stood. There’s a faint smell of seaweed in the air, mixed with the scent of fresh bread from a bakery just off the main road. The city wakes up slowly here; fishermen were still unloading their catch as we rolled by.

The real magic started when we entered the Old Town through the stone arch. The wheels hummed quietly over cobblestones—surprisingly smooth. In the Jewish Quarter, Maria shared stories about old synagogues and pointed out a tiny café called “To Kafeneio,” where locals sip Greek coffee under faded umbrellas. I caught snippets of Greek and Italian drifting from open windows. On Ippokratous Square, pigeons scattered as we glided through, and you could hear church bells echoing off the medieval walls.

The Street of the Knights felt like stepping into another century—massive stones, iron lanterns, and barely any cars. We paused outside the Grand Master Palace, its walls casting long shadows in the late morning sun. Maria explained how these fortifications protected Rhodes for centuries; she even showed us a hidden carving on one of the stones that most people miss. By the time we reached the Archaeological Museum, I was ready to hop off and explore more on foot—but honestly, cruising by Segway gave us a whole new perspective. It’s fun, easy, and you see so much more than just walking.
