Hey everyone! Well, it looks like next year’s trip to Greece will include Rhodes, and as a photography enthusiast, I’m already planning out some top spots to capture the island’s beauty. I’ve heard amazing things about Lindos Acropolis with its panoramic views over the sea, and the Medieval City of Rhodes sounds like a dream for capturing historic charm with those winding stone streets and ancient architecture.

But I know there must be even more incredible places to shoot! I’d love your recommendations for other must-see spots that showcase Rhodes’ natural beauty, unique landscapes, or maybe even some hidden gems that most tourists miss. Any tips on best times of day or viewpoints would be amazing, too. Thanks in advance for helping me build an epic photography itinerary for Rhodes!
 
Hello I live on rhodes .There are many many places for photo oppertunities. For example , friend came on a 2 week holiday .At the end of each day he downloaded the photos from his camera cards. So were empty to use the next day . 65 times he downloaded & had hundreds of photos by the end of his holiday .The scenery on Rhodes is so diverse .For example take the sign posted road just outside village of Siana to Appolikia Dam .its tarmac most of the way but a short stretch alongside the dam is a dirt road .another scenic route is the drive from the village of Lachania to Skiadi monastery.its a good road all the way.Go from the village of Lardos towards Laerma .Follow the road towards Appalona village .However dont go to the village but go instead to Psinthos or Eleousa villages .In this area you will see the damage caused by the fire in August 2023.Seventy thousand acres were burned over 7 days.

Wow!! This is so helpful, I can't wait to put this into action. It's the diversity in the scenery that really caught my eye about this island so I appreciate you giving some suggestion for me to enjoy that aspect of it. I think it would be interesting to photograph some of the damaged areas, too. For me, photography is a way to capture the essence of the place, and sometimes that means some not so great parts of the island's past, as well, like the fires.
 
I had a lot of fun using my 360 camera around Lindos and the Old Town—there’s just so much going on visually. If you’re into capturing everything around you, www.insta360.com has some cool gear that makes it super easy to shoot interactive pics and videos, especially in spots like the Acropolis. Sunrise and sunset give the best colors for sure, and the narrow streets really pop with that soft light.

Indian film studio

following on from the completion of an indian movie on rhodes , the producer wants to set up a film studio on rhodes

How do I start a successful livestream production service?

Been messing around with livestreaming for friends and small events, and people keep telling me I should turn it into a real service. I love the tech side and the creative chaos, but I have zero clue how to start making it into a paid thing without crashing and burning. Gear upgrades, pricing, finding clients, handling the pressure of live stuff... it's all swirling in my head. If anyone here has built a service like this or works in production, I’d love some real talk on what actually works and what to avoid.

What do you love most about Rhodes?

I’ve been reading about Rhodes lately, and the more I learn, the more it seems like a place that offers a little bit of everything. The island has such an interesting mix of history, beaches, beautiful villages, and great food. The Old Town alone looks incredible, with its medieval streets, stone buildings, and all that history around every corner.

At the same time, people talk a lot about the beaches, the clear water, and places like Lindos with its white houses and views of the acropolis. It seems like Rhodes manages to balance culture, scenery, and relaxation really well.

For those of you who have visited, what stands out the most when you think back on your trip? Was it a specific place, like a beach or village, or more the overall atmosphere of the island?

I’d love to hear what made Rhodes special for you and what left the biggest impression.

What Happened to the Colossus of Rhodes?

I’ve been reading about Colossus of Rhodes and realized I don’t actually know what happened to it. I know it was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and that it stood somewhere near the harbor in Rhodes, but beyond that, the details are a bit fuzzy for me.

Did it collapse because of an earthquake? And if so, what happened to the remains afterward? I’ve heard different versions—some say it stayed in pieces for a long time, others say it was eventually removed or sold off.

Also, is there any real evidence of exactly where it stood, or is that still debated? Curious to hear what people know or have learned, especially if you’ve visited Rhodes and seen any related sites or history in person.
