“Great way to see the highlights of Rhodes - We had limited time in Rhodes, as we were visiting for the day on a cruise ship. This is a great way to see the highlights of the island in a day and in style - the Mercedes vehicle that was used was very comfortable indeed. Our guide, Vasilis, was very pleasant, knowledgeable and spoke excellent English. He also recommended and took us to an excellent Greek restaurant. We had a fantastic day, and highly recommend this tour.” - Reviewed on 2024-11-03

Afternoon Adventures and Indoor Escapes

As the day progresses, temperatures rise to a comfortable 63°F, but with the increasing cloud cover, it’s wise to plan for indoor activities by late afternoon.

Begin your adventure with a visit to the Aquarium of Rhodes, where you can discover the marine wealth of the Aegean and the Eastern Mediterranean Sea.

As the afternoon clouds gather, consider exploring the local cafes and museums.

With a high chance of rain by late afternoon, these indoor attractions provide a cozy retreat from the elements.

“Seeing Rhodes for the first time. - Our tour started with Rhodes, old town–a walled city–that is still a city–people live there–the winding streets took us to restaurants, shops, etc. Then we visited the Mandraki Marina where there Rhodes Colossus stood around 200 BC. Lindos and the Rhodes Acropolis is ancient and part if it is still standing. Anthony, our guide, grew up in Rhodes and was extremely knowledgeable and informative about the culture, religion, food, and history. An outstanding seaside, sea food lunch, a stop at a local family’s olive oil shop rounded out our full day of sightseeing. We learned so much.” - Reviewed on 2024-11-12
