Are there festivals in the summer in Rhodes?

[paharo45]

I’m planning a trip to Rhodes, Greece, and I've heard that the island is not just about stunning beaches and breathtaking landscapes, but it’s also rich in culture and offers a variety of festivals throughout the year. I’m really excited about the possibility of aligning my visit with one of these cultural events!

Can anyone share recommendations for festivals in Rhodes? I’m interested in anything from traditional Greek celebrations to music, art, and food festivals. Anything that will allow me to soak in the local culture and make my trip even more memorable.

I usually just "see the sites" when I am in Greece. This is my second time on Rhodes, so now I am looking for something different to do.

The biggest festivals are New Year & Easter.This year Easter is in early May.Villages have so called festivals. They are mainly just street markers selling carpets ,clothes, shoes & a lot of childrens toys.Some villges have "' festivals"" for food ie selling strawberries , mellon , oranges & olives

This is one of the most interesting and exciting festivals taking place on Rhodes each year.

The Medieval festival of Rhodes does not happen every year.

I think it does. Due to Covid-19 it stopped.

The Medieval festival looks like a good time! I think it's back on since Covid, right?

Some other ideas:

• Lindos Acropolis Events: Cultural events held at the ancient Lindos Acropolis, including music concerts, theater performances, and art exhibitions.
• Rhodes Summer Festival: A diverse program of music, dance, theater, and film screenings, held at various venues across the island.
• Hippocrates Festival: Celebrating the legacy of Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine, with lectures, workshops, and wellness events.
• Symi Festival: An annual cultural extravaganza on the nearby island of Symi, featuring traditional music, dance, and food.
