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

The Medieval festival of Rhodes does not happen every year.

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.

Local wines to try in Rhodes?

I’m starting to gather ideas for a possible late fall trip to Rhodes and one thing I’d really love to explore is the local wine. I’m Greek and have been to Greece many times, but never to Rhodes, so I’m not familiar with the island’s wine scene at all.

I’ve read that Rhodes has a long tradition of winemaking and that certain villages, like Embonas, are known for their vineyards. Are there particular grape varieties or labels I should look for? Any local favorites that don’t make it to the mainland but are worth seeking out while I’m there?

I’d also love to know if there are wineries that offer tastings or tours in the fall, and whether that’s a good season for visiting vineyards in Rhodes.

If you’ve had wine in Rhodes that made an impression, I’d be grateful for your recommendations!
