The Experience

The engine cuts through quiet—that's the first thing you notice when the quad fires up. You're sitting behind someone on the seat, helmet on, dust already settling on your arms before you've left the meeting point. This Rhodes ATV tour takes two riders per quad into the backcountry of South Rhodes, away from the main roads where the landscape actually changes. Your driver handles the machine; you're along for the ride, which means you can look around instead of watching the track.

The route moves through traditional villages like Mesanagros, where you'll stop at a small chapel and get cold water and a snack in the shade. The countryside here is the real thing—not manicured, not crowded. You pass through olive groves and scrubland, the kind of terrain that doesn't make it into the postcards. Then comes the beach stop, which is why you bring your towel and swimwear. It's a secluded stretch, the kind of place you wouldn't find without someone who knows the back roads. The whole thing takes a few hours, and hotel pickup is included from Kalathos, Lindos, Pefkos, Lardos, Kiotari, Gennadi, Lachania, or Plimiri—so you don't have to arrange transport to the starting point.

What's practical: you need a valid driver's license, though you're not driving. The quad handles rough terrain, so dress for dust—long sleeves and pants work better than shorts. Helmets and dust protection gear come with the tour, and they hand you bottled water and a map. Fuel is included. The pace is steady rather than aggressive, which is how you actually see the landscape instead of just blasting through it.
