Has anyone ever taken a boat trip around the island of Rhodes?

From what I've researched, there are a plethora of options, from luxurious yachts to quaint sailing boats, each promising an unforgettable journey across the Aegean Sea. 🌊

What I'm Looking For:

  • Recommendations for boat tour companies you trust.
  • Tips on hidden gems and must-see spots along the coastline or nearby islets.
  • Any advice on the best time of day or year for smooth sailing.
  • Insights on what to bring apart from the obvious (sunscreen, hat, camera—you get the drift).
Anything you can help me with is very much appreciated!
 
There is a boat trip to Kallithea spa with swim stops on the way. It departs from A small harbour not far from the tourist port. Its next to a boat selling sea shells. In the summer you can see its web camera operating live .

This sounds divine, I always wanted to do something like this in Greece! There are therapeutic waters here, right? And it's a natural spring? The whole experience sounds fun. I don't have immediate plans to go to Rhodes, but this is definitely on my list.

Taking a boat trip in Rhodes is an excellent way to explore the stunning coastline and nearby islets while enjoying the beauty of the Aegean Sea. Here's some information and recommendations based on your queries:

1. Recommendations for reliable boat tour companies:

  • Some reputable boat tour companies include Rhodes Sea Lines, Mandraki Harbour Tours, and Sail the Blue Yachting. These companies offer various types of boat tours, from private yacht charters to group sailing excursions, catering to different preferences and budgets.
2. Tips on hidden gems and must-see spots along the coastline or nearby islets:

  • Hidden gems along the Rhodes coastline include Mavros Kavos, Hidden Beach in Stegna, and Lindos Beach, known for their crystal-clear waters and picturesque surroundings. Nearby islets worth visiting include Symi, known for its colorful neoclassical architecture, and Chalki, a tranquil island with charming villages.
3. Any advice on the best time of day or year for smooth sailing:

  • The best time for smooth sailing in Rhodes is during the summer months (June to August) when the weather is warm and the sea is calm. Mornings and late afternoons tend to have calmer seas, making them ideal for boat trips. However, it's essential to check weather forecasts and sea conditions before setting sail.
 

Valley of Butterflies in Rhodes?

I learned about this cool place on Rhdoes I want to see.

Valley of Butterflies is a sanctuary on Rhodes for severe; species of butterflies and is worth a visit. This natural haven is nestled in the middle of a winding stream and surrounded by rocky hills, flowers, and trees. The valley is home to abundant flora and fauna, including 150 different types of butterflies and moths such as the Jersey Tiger Moth, the Spotted Fritillary Butterfly, and the Painted Lady Butterfly.

The best time to visit this natural paradise is from late June to early September. During this period, the butterflies start their 5-day mating cycle, creating beautiful yellow-colored walls along the Rhodos stream. Visiting this place during this period gives you the chance to revel in the delightful colors and aroma of butterflies fluttering around your head.

I found this great video about it:


I don't know I fi will have a chance to go next year, but it really does look neat!

Visiting Ancient Ramiro's on Rhodes

I realized I have never seen this site and I am traveling with history buffs. I thought I'd ask you all for some advice:

  1. Best Time to Visit: What’s the best time of year to explore Ancient Kamiros to avoid the crowds but still enjoy good weather?
  2. Getting There: Are there public transportation options available, or would renting a vehicle be advisable? Any tips on parking or the best times to arrive?
  3. Must-Sees: Within the site, are there any particular spots or artifacts that are a must-see? I'm interested in capturing some great photos and soaking in the history.
  4. Tour. Should I take a tour? Anything to recommend?
