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!

Is Lindos better as a day trip or overnight stay?

Planning a trip to Rhodes and trying to decide how to experience Lindos. I’ve seen people recommend both a quick day trip and staying overnight, and I’m curious what others think.

On one hand, Lindos seems compact enough to see in a few hours, like to see the Acropolis, village streets, a swim, lunch, then move on. On the other, photos of the village in the early morning or after day-trippers leave make it look like a completely different place.

For those who’ve been, did staying overnight add something meaningful to your experience? Was it quieter, more atmospheric, or easier to enjoy the town without crowds? Or did you feel a day trip was more than enough?

I’d love to hear what you’d recommend, especially if you’ve done both. Season, budget, and travel style probably change the answer for everyone.

Information About Walking at Mandraki Harbor?

I night be planning a trip to Rhodes soon, and I keep hearing about how beautiful Mandraki Harbor is — especially for an evening stroll. I’ve seen photos of the deer statues at the entrance and the line of old windmills along the water, and it looks absolutely magical.

I was wondering if anyone could share more details about what it’s like to walk there. Is the whole harbor area pedestrian-friendly, or are there sections with car traffic to watch out for? Are there benches or spots to sit and enjoy the view?

Also, are there cafes or ice cream places along the way where you can stop? I’d love to know if it’s lively in the evenings, or more peaceful and quiet. Any tips?
