The sleepy seaside village of Gennadi on Rhodes island makes for the perfect Mediterranean getaway, especially when you rent your own scooter or motorcycle. With a motorbike rental you can explore the surrounding countryside and coastline at your own pace. Arriving at Rhodes International Airport it's just a short and scenic ride south along the coast to reach Gennadi village. Gennadi itself exudes rustic Greek island charm, with whitewashed houses and flower dotted streets leading down to the pebble beach shoreline. Relax at one of the tavernas while watching the sunset over the Aegean Sea. Then take a ride up to the Prophet Elias monastery on Mount Attavyros, the highest point on Rhodes, to enjoy breathtaking panoramic views. Nearby in Lahania village discover a 15th century mosque and wander the picturesque narrow alleys lined with traditional houses. Continue further south and you'll reach Prasonisi, where the Mediterranean meets the Aegean at Rhodes' southernmost point. This sandy surfing paradise gets divided by water into two beaches at high tide. North of Gennadi, a short ride leads to Monolithos village, crowned by its medieval castle ruins perched dramatically on a hill. From here take the coastal road hugging the rugged shoreline while catching glimpses of tiny secluded coves only accessible by boat or on foot. As the road winds uphill to Monolithos village, stop to admire the stunning views overlooking the sea below. With so much natural beauty and historic charm so closeby, Gennadi makes an idyllic base to explore southern Rhodes. Renting a scooter, motorcycle or quad bike is by far the best way to discover all this region has to offer at your own pace.
