Exploring the coastal gems of Rhodes on a daily cruise is one of the most popular activities among the visitors of Rhodes. Mandraki harbour is where most of these cruises depart to explore the seaside charm of the island, whereas ample choice in vessels has something to offer to everyone, from sailing boats to luxurious private yachts. Do not miss visiting the nearby islands of Symi and Chalki to discover the authentic traditional charms of the Dodecanese islands.
Those who love hiking and discovering every hidden treasure of a destination find in Rhodes Island a multitude of hiking trails to explore. Unique flora and fauna, jaw-dropping views and hidden treasures of the island’s history pop-up in every step you take, and Rhodian nature never stops to impress and fascinate! Look for the verdant route that crosses the valley of Butterflies to reach the Monastery of Kalopetra, or for the Akramytis trail, near Monolithos, for unforgettable hiking adventures.
Some of the most picturesque – and famous - beaches worth visiting around the island are Antony Quinn, Ladiko, Stegna, Pefki, Lindos and Gennadi on the east coast, whereas Ialysos, Fanes and Monolithos on the west coast attract windsurfers and kite surfers from all around the world, just as the southern tip of the island, the enchanting Prassonissi.
The windswept western coasts of Rhodes and the alluring Prasonissi on the southern tip of the island are a windsurfer’s heaven, with several national and international windsurfing competitions taking place each year here. Surfing clubs abound on most of these beaches and particularly at Ixia, Ialysos and Fanes, where one can rent all essential windsurfing equipment and put their aptitudes to the test under the guidance of certified instructors.
Thrilling water-slide fun at the amazing Water-Park, scuba-diving expeditions, fishing or diving cruises are just some of the exhilarating activities ready to sweep you away in Rhodes. In addition, modern and exhilarating water sports such as Jet Skis, parasailing, canoeing, kayaking and many more are widely available both in the town’s beaches such as Elli, but also in beaches all around the island.
