Things to do in Rhodes
Walk the Knights’ Quarter
Join a small-group tour through cobbled lanes, the Street of the Knights and the Palace of the Grand Master, finishing with coffee on Socratous Square.
Sunset at Lindos Acropolis
Climb whitewashed alleys in late afternoon, reach the Doric temple for gold-hour photos, then swim at Saint Paul’s cove before dinner on the beach.
Day cruises to Symi or Halki
Book a fast boat from Mandraki Harbour, drop anchor for snorkelling in emerald bays and wander pastel harbours for sponge shops and seafood lunches.
Ride the Meltemi at Prasonisi
Reserve wind- or kite-surf lessons where the Aegean meets the Med; steady summer winds and rental centres suit both beginners and experts.
Taste of Rhodes tour
Spend half a day in village farms sampling melekounia sesame bars, chickpea pitaroudia and Athiri wines, capped with a courtyard meze lunch.
Splash time in Faliraki
Skip the queue with pre-booked tickets to Faliraki Water Park, home to high-speed slides, lazy rivers and shaded toddler pools.
Butterfly Valley and nature trails
Walk wooden bridges among plane trees filled with Jersey tiger moths (June–Sept), then picnic by the stream or continue to the monastery of Kalopetra.
Castles and coastlines
Drive to Monolithos Castle for cliff-top views, paddle in the sea caves below and finish with sunset drinks on nearby Fourni Beach.
