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.
 

Rhodes for Foodies

I'm planning a trip to Rhodes and, as a passionate foodie, I'm eager to explore the island's culinary delights. I'd love to hear your recommendations on the best way to experience Rhodes' food scene.

Are there any must-visit taverns or restaurants where I can taste authentic local dishes? I'd also appreciate suggestions for food tours or cooking classes that offer a hands-on experience with traditional Rhodesian cuisine.

Additionally, I'm interested in discovering local markets where I can find fresh produce, unique ingredients, and maybe even some hidden gems. If you've been to Rhodes and have any tips on where to go for the best food experiences, please share!

Local Shopping Advice for Rhodes?

I’m planning a trip to Rhodes soon and would love some advice on the best places for local shopping. I’m especially interested in finding authentic products like handmade crafts, jewelry, local wines, and olive oil. Are there specific markets or shops that you recommend for buying unique Rhodian goods?

I’ve heard the Old Town is a great spot for shopping, but I’d love to know more about what I can expect there, or if there are other areas on the island worth checking out. Any tips on haggling, or should I expect fixed prices? Also, if anyone knows where I can find good quality local ceramics or textiles, that would be wonderful. Thanks in advance!

Eating Like a Local in Rhodes?

When I go to Rhodes next I'd like to really dive into the local food scene. I always prefer eating where the locals do rather than sticking to touristy spots. I've heard that Rhodes has some amazing traditional tavernas and hidden gems when it comes to food, but I'm not sure where to start.

Does anyone have recommendations for authentic places to eat in Rhodes? I’m particularly interested in trying local specialties like moussaka, fresh seafood, and maybe some lesser-known dishes that I wouldn’t find in guidebooks. Also, if there are any tips on what times are best to go, or how to order like a local, I'd love to hear them!
