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.
 

Worth visiting the botanical garden on Rhodes?

Is it worth visiting the botanical garden on Rhodes? I think it's called the Sacratous Garden? Or are they two different places. I've heard so much about its stunning landscapes, diverse flora, and tranquil atmosphere, making it a must-see destination for nature lovers. However, I have a couple of questions and I was hoping someone here could share their insights or experiences:
  1. Best Time to Visit: What's the best season or time of year to visit the botanical garden to see it in all its glory? Are there any specific months when the garden is particularly vibrant or hosts special flora?
  2. Must-See Highlights: For those who have been, what are some must-see highlights within the garden that you'd recommend? Any particular sections or rare plants that I shouldn't miss?
  3. Guided Tours: Are there guided tours available? If so, would you recommend taking one to enhance the visit, or is the garden easy to explore independently?

Nightlife in Rhodes - Faliraki

I have some friends who went to Rhodes last year and they said they observed that Faliraki has some good nightlife. Is this true?

Could anyone share some insider tips or personal experiences about the best spots to enjoy the evening?

Specifically, I’m looking for:
  • Clubs that have a great atmosphere and awesome music.
  • Bars or pubs where I can meet new people and have some good conversation.
  • Any places known for live music or unique entertainment.
I will only be there for a few days and I might only have a night to spend doing that kind of thing before I move on to another part of Greece. Trying to see a lot this time.

Update on Rhodes after the fires?

I know that Rhodes had a rough summer. I am starting to think about planning my trip to Greece for September 2024. I don't know yet what my plan is, but I always wanted to go to Rhodes to see the Lindos Acropolis area and the Knights of Saint John. I have some people in my party who are history buffs and they would be thrilled if we finally went. We didn't go last year because of all that was going on in the island.

But, I am starting to see Rhodes appear again on Cruise itineraries, and cruising might be a possibility for us because we will be traveling with multiple generations.

For those of you who know the island well, or even might know people on the island, what do you think?
