Visiting the Ruins of Kimaros?

[dpappas87]

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!

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.
