What to do in Rhodes
Explore the Medieval Old Town: Wander through one of the best-preserved medieval towns in Europe, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Walk along the cobbled streets, explore the Palace of the Grand Master, and visit the Street of the Knights.
Visit Lindos and Its Acropolis: Climb up to the Acropolis of Lindos for spectacular views over the Aegean Sea. The town itself is a whitewashed maze of shops, cafes, and rooftop restaurants — perfect for exploring.
Swim at Anthony Quinn Bay: This stunning bay offers crystal-clear waters and rocky surroundings, ideal for snorkeling and relaxing. One of the island's most picturesque swimming spots.
Go Windsurfing in Prasonisi: Located at the southern tip of the island, Prasonisi is where the Aegean and Mediterranean seas meet — a top spot for windsurfing and kitesurfing thanks to strong, steady winds.
Take a Boat Trip: Enjoy a boat cruise around the island, or take a day trip to nearby Symi Island or Marmaris (Turkey). Many cruises offer snorkeling stops, swimming coves, and sunset views.
Visit the Valley of the Butterflies (Petaloudes): A peaceful nature reserve, especially popular in summer when thousands of butterflies gather. Enjoy a shaded walk through lush forest and waterfalls.
Relax on Tsambika Beach: A long, golden-sand beach ideal for swimming, sunbathing, and watersports. There’s also a hike up to the Monastery of Tsambika above the beach for epic views.
Try Local Wine & Food: Visit a winery or traditional taverna to taste Rhodes' wines, local cheeses, honey, and specialties like pitaroudia (chickpea fritters) and fresh seafood.
