I'll be traveling to Rhodes soon and I'm very interested in visiting the ruins of Kamiros. I've heard it's one of the island's hidden gems and a must-see for history buffs. Has anyone here visited? If so, I'd love to hear your advice and any tips you have for making the most out of the trip.

A few specific questions I have:
  1. Best time to visit – When is the best time of day to go to avoid crowds and heat?
  2. Getting there – Is it better to rent a car or take public transportation?
  3. Guided tours – Are there any recommended guides or tours that provide a deeper understanding of the site's history?
  4. What to bring – Any essentials I should pack for the trip?
  5. Nearby attractions – Are there any other interesting spots nearby worth checking out?
Any other tips or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated!
 
best to go early in the morning .hire a car as buses are not very frequent. you do not need a guide look up its history on line.wear sensible footwear not flip flops. look at nearby kamiros beach & kopria beach.both have good tavernas
 
Some information about Kamiros:

Best time to visit: Go early in the morning to avoid the heat and crowds. The site opens at 8 AM.

Getting there: Renting a car is the best option for flexibility. However, buses from Rhodes town are available if you prefer public transport.

Guided tours: I highly recommend taking a guided tour. Our guide provided fascinating insights into the site's history.

What to bring: Bring plenty of water, sunscreen, a hat, and comfortable walking shoes. There's minimal shade, so be prepared for the sun.

Nearby attractions: Check out the ancient city of Lindos and its acropolis, and the Valley of the Butterflies if in season.
 
Lindos & Valley of Butterflys is NOT near Ancient Kamiros .
Public transport to Ancient Kamiros is VERY LIMITED
Lindos is over an hours drive away. Butterfly valley 30 mins . drive

Enjoy Nature in Rhodes Question

I’m heading to Rhodes soon, and I’m really looking forward to exploring the island’s natural beauty. I’ve heard that Rhodes is not just about beautiful beaches and historical sites but also offers some amazing opportunities to connect with nature. I’m hoping to get some advice on the best ways to enjoy the natural landscapes there.

Are there any specific hiking trails or nature reserves that are a must-visit? I’m particularly interested in scenic walks, quiet spots for bird watching, or any unique natural features like waterfalls or viewpoints. Also, are there guided tours that you would recommend for exploring nature, or is it easy to navigate on your own?

I’m open to all kinds of nature-related activities, so I’d love to hear your suggestions on how to make the most of my time outdoors in Rhodes.

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!
