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.

showing tourists rhodes island

my wife & I live on rhodes. we enjoy taking tourists around . so far this year its been 7 couples. would have been more . 3 couples failed to turn up outside their hotels.4 phoned to say they were ill. This is priceless. one lot phoned the night before to say they had forgotten an appointment at hairdressers. their loss. we do not expect a lot just a contribution towards our lunch.

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 Part of Rhodes Feels Most “Local”?

I might be visiting friends in Rhodes this summer, and I’m trying to figure out which parts of the island feel the most local and authentic versus heavily touristy.

Don’t get me wrong, I’ll definitely check out the major spots and beaches, but I usually enjoy the places where you can actually slow down a little, grab a coffee, sit at a taverna, and get more of a feel for everyday life on the island.

My friends have mentioned that Rhodes has very different vibes depending on where you are, especially once you get away from the main tourist areas.

So I’m curious what people here would recommend. Are there any places that really capture the atmosphere of the island beyond the typical tourist experience?

Is October a Good Time to Visit Rhodes?

I’m considering a trip to Rhodes this October because I found a really good deal on flights, and now I’m trying to decide if I should go for it!

I’ve been looking into the weather, but I’d love to hear from people who have actually visited Rhodes in October. Is it still warm enough to spend time at the beach and swim, or does the weather start becoming unpredictable by then? I don’t necessarily need extremely hot weather, but I would like some sunshine and nice days for exploring.

I’m also wondering what Rhodes is like that time of year in terms of restaurants, shops, attractions, and crowds. Are most things still open, especially in Rhodes Town and Lindos?

Would you recommend visiting Rhodes in October, or is it better to save the trip for earlier in the season?

Rhodes for History Lovers: Where Should You Go?

I've been to Rhodes before and absolutely loved the history there. Walking through the Old Town, visiting the Palace of the Grand Master, and exploring Lindos were some of my favorite experiences. There's a chance I may return in early fall this year or next year if the trip comes together.

This time, though, I'd be traveling with someone who is a serious history buff, so I feel like I need to take my planning up a notch. Beyond the well-known sites, what historical locations in Rhodes would you recommend? Are there any lesser-known ruins, museums, archaeological sites, or villages that history lovers shouldn't miss?

I'd also love suggestions for guided tours, books, or resources that helped you better understand the island's history before visiting. What would be on your must-see list for someone who wants to really dive into Rhodes' past?
