I have a friend who was supposed to go to Rhodes this year as part of a cruise. This isn't until September. She saw about the fires and is freaking out a little bit. The cruise company hasn't been in touch yet.

Do you guys have any advice on what she should do, so I can pass it along to her? She's not online much so I thought I'd post this for her.

Very sad what has happened on Rhodes. I would personally restructure any travel plans not to include Rhodes for this year and then see how it goes for next year.

I am sure the cruise company will reroute to another place if Rhodes is in rough shape too, though. If I were her I would just trust that they'll work it out.
 
your friend will not be going to the area affected by the fire.Its unlikely they will see anything by septermber
 
cruise ships are still coming. earlier this week there were 3 on the same day
 
We were in Rhodes late July, beginning of August When the fires were raging. We stayed at the casino we didn't see any fire or smoke there at all. Fires were about 50-60 km south, near Lindos. We drove all the way to the southmost point. A lot of the mountain was burned and in some cases all the way down to the sea. Tell your friend to go and enjoy.
We were on Kefallonia later and they had fires there as well. Again no problems, the fire was put out in a day.
The big fire is north near the Turkish border, smoke from there west as far as Italy!

What to See in Rhodes for a 3-Day Visit

I’ll be visiting Rhodes for three days soon and would love some advice on the must-see attractions! I’m interested in a mix of history, culture, and natural beauty, but with only a short time, I want to make sure I hit the highlights.

What are the absolute must-visit spots that I shouldn’t miss? I’m especially curious about any hidden gems or local favorites that might not be in every guidebook. Also, any tips on the best way to plan my days to maximize my experience would be fantastic.

Best Photography Locations in Rhodes

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!

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!

Snorkeling advice for Rhodes

I’m considering a trip to Rhodes, but I’m still in the early planning stages and gathering as much information as I can. One of my favorite activities on vacation is snorkeling, and I’ve heard Rhodes has some amazing spots for underwater exploration.

Can anyone recommend the best places to snorkel around the island? I’m looking for areas with clear water, vibrant marine life, and maybe even some unique underwater features like caves or rock formations. Are there any hidden gems or beaches that stand out for snorkeling?

Also, are there guided snorkeling tours worth checking out, or is it better to rent gear and explore on my own? Any tips for the best time of year to visit for calm, clear waters would also be super helpful. Thanks!

Tavernas in Lindos to Try?

I am still looking for recommendations on Tavernas in Lindos to try. I haven't been to Lindos, yet. Also what dishes should I try?

Any advice on making reservations or what times are best to avoid crowds would be super helpful too. I want to make the most of my time and enjoy some truly memorable meals. Thanks!
