For those of you that are traveling to Turkey from Greece using the ferry or vice versa, you are in luck! The ferry services are being re introduced which is great news especially for those that are traveling on a budget. The ferries were close down because of covid and have been closed for some time. Every Friday and Sunday there is a 45 minute boat ride from Fethiye, Turkey to Rhodes. This is such a quick trip and will definitely be cheaper than taking most flights! Has anyone taken this route? Unfortunately I have not and cannot provide tips from personal experience.
 
The ferries were not closed due to COVID. Political reasons were why & the services stopped before COVID. I am not sure if they restart this year.

Best Photography Locations in Rhodes

Hey everyone! Well, it looks like next year’s trip to Greece will include Rhodes, and as a photography enthusiast, I’m already planning out some top spots to capture the island’s beauty. I’ve heard amazing things about Lindos Acropolis with its panoramic views over the sea, and the Medieval City of Rhodes sounds like a dream for capturing historic charm with those winding stone streets and ancient architecture.

But I know there must be even more incredible places to shoot! I’d love your recommendations for other must-see spots that showcase Rhodes’ natural beauty, unique landscapes, or maybe even some hidden gems that most tourists miss. Any tips on best times of day or viewpoints would be amazing, too. Thanks in advance for helping me build an epic photography itinerary for Rhodes!

Tavernas in Lindos to Try?

I am still looking for recommendations on Tavernas in Lindos to try. I haven't been to Lindos, yet. Also what dishes should I try?

Any advice on making reservations or what times are best to avoid crowds would be super helpful too. I want to make the most of my time and enjoy some truly memorable meals. Thanks!

Traditional Dishes to Try While on Rhodes?

I’ll be visiting Rhodes this summer, and I can’t wait to explore the island’s food scene! I know Greek cuisine is amazing, but I’d love to try local dishes that are unique to Rhodes.

Are there any must-try specialties that I shouldn’t miss? I’ve heard about pitaroudia (chickpea fritters) and lakani (a slow-cooked meat dish), but I’d love more recommendations—whether it’s seafood, traditional meze, or local desserts.

Also, if you have any restaurant or taverna recommendations, I’d really appreciate it! I want to experience authentic, home-style cooking rather than just touristy spots. Bonus points if it’s by the sea with a great view!

Looking forward to your tips and suggestions—thanks in advance!
