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

Is October a Good Time to Visit Rhodes?

I’m considering a trip to Rhodes this October because I found a really good deal on flights, and now I’m trying to decide if I should go for it!

I’ve been looking into the weather, but I’d love to hear from people who have actually visited Rhodes in October. Is it still warm enough to spend time at the beach and swim, or does the weather start becoming unpredictable by then? I don’t necessarily need extremely hot weather, but I would like some sunshine and nice days for exploring.

I’m also wondering what Rhodes is like that time of year in terms of restaurants, shops, attractions, and crowds. Are most things still open, especially in Rhodes Town and Lindos?

Would you recommend visiting Rhodes in October, or is it better to save the trip for earlier in the season?

Tips for Exploring the Ancient City of Kamiros

I might go to Rhodes and would really like to visit the Ancient City of Kamiros while I’m there. I love exploring archaeological sites, and from the photos and information I’ve seen, Kamiros looks fascinating. I’m especially interested in seeing the layout of the ancient city and learning more about what daily life would have been like there.

For those who have visited, do you have any tips for making the most of the experience? How much time would you recommend allowing to explore the site without feeling rushed? Is there enough information posted around the ruins, or would it be helpful to read about the history beforehand or bring a guidebook?

I’d also love to know about practical details, such as the best time of day to visit, how much walking is involved, and whether there are any other nearby places worth combining with Kamiros on the same day.
