Has anyone ever taken a boat trip around the island of Rhodes?

From what I've researched, there are a plethora of options, from luxurious yachts to quaint sailing boats, each promising an unforgettable journey across the Aegean Sea. 🌊

What I'm Looking For:

  • Recommendations for boat tour companies you trust.
  • Tips on hidden gems and must-see spots along the coastline or nearby islets.
  • Any advice on the best time of day or year for smooth sailing.
  • Insights on what to bring apart from the obvious (sunscreen, hat, camera—you get the drift).
Anything you can help me with is very much appreciated!
 
There is a boat trip to Kallithea spa with swim stops on the way. It departs from A small harbour not far from the tourist port. Its next to a boat selling sea shells. In the summer you can see its web camera operating live .

This sounds divine, I always wanted to do something like this in Greece! There are therapeutic waters here, right? And it's a natural spring? The whole experience sounds fun. I don't have immediate plans to go to Rhodes, but this is definitely on my list.

Taking a boat trip in Rhodes is an excellent way to explore the stunning coastline and nearby islets while enjoying the beauty of the Aegean Sea. Here's some information and recommendations based on your queries:

1. Recommendations for reliable boat tour companies:

  • Some reputable boat tour companies include Rhodes Sea Lines, Mandraki Harbour Tours, and Sail the Blue Yachting. These companies offer various types of boat tours, from private yacht charters to group sailing excursions, catering to different preferences and budgets.
2. Tips on hidden gems and must-see spots along the coastline or nearby islets:

  • Hidden gems along the Rhodes coastline include Mavros Kavos, Hidden Beach in Stegna, and Lindos Beach, known for their crystal-clear waters and picturesque surroundings. Nearby islets worth visiting include Symi, known for its colorful neoclassical architecture, and Chalki, a tranquil island with charming villages.
3. Any advice on the best time of day or year for smooth sailing:

  • The best time for smooth sailing in Rhodes is during the summer months (June to August) when the weather is warm and the sea is calm. Mornings and late afternoons tend to have calmer seas, making them ideal for boat trips. However, it's essential to check weather forecasts and sea conditions before setting sail.
 

Questions about Renting a Car in Rhodes?

I'm planning a trip to Rhodes and considering renting a car to explore the island. I've heard mixed reviews about car rental experiences in different travel destinations, so I wanted to get some firsthand advice from this community.

Here are a few questions I have:

  1. Best Rental Agencies: Which car rental companies would you recommend in Rhodes? Are there any local agencies that offer better deals or service than the international chains?
  2. Pricing: What should I expect in terms of daily rental rates? Are there any hidden fees I should be aware of?
  3. Driving Conditions: How are the road conditions in Rhodes? Is it easy to navigate for someone not familiar with the area?
  4. Insurance: What kind of insurance coverage is advisable? Is it better to get additional insurance from the rental company or rely on my credit card coverage?
  5. Booking: Is it better to book in advance online or can I get better deals by renting on arrival?
Any tips, experiences, or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance.

Honeymoon in Rhodes?

I have to help someone plan a honeymoon in Rhodes. It can be a romantic place, especially if you love history.

I need some help, though, figuring some things out since I have only ever been here with my family. Where would you stay? What would you eat? What would you do?

Any advice you have would be great - I can think of plenty of things to see and do, and places to eat, but I've never thought about them from a romantic perspective.

Best Food Experiences to Have on Rhodes?

I'm planning a trip to Rhodes and am eager to dive into its culinary scene. I'm looking for recommendations on the best culinary experiences the island has to offer.

  • Top Restaurants and Tavernas: Which spots are renowned for authentic local cuisine?
  • Local Markets: Are there any markets where I can sample local produce and street food?
  • Unique Food Experiences: Any cooking classes, food tours, or wine tastings you’d recommend?
I'm a fan of fresh, local ingredients and love discovering hidden gems, whether it's a seaside taverna or a bustling market stall. Any tips or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated!

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!
