Symi was beautiful, a real gem, and we loved all the little shops. You have to try Symi Shrimps as a real treat and recommend the Noddy train as a way to sea the village from all angles.”

Review of Rhodes’ Lindos cruise with Anthony Quinn Bay and Tsambika swim stops, three hours in Lindos, onboard bar, sunbeds, and practical tips.

“The whole day went smoothly. The crew were all friendly and professional. Transportation there and back was prompt with no issues. The boat itself was clean and seats were very comfortable. Plenty of shade if you didn’t want the sun. Great bar with plenty of drinks and snacks. The crew kept the boat clean after each swim stop. Lindos itself was beautiful and the views from the acropolis were stunning. Plenty of shops and tavernas along the bay for food or drinks. There was also plenty of time for the two swim stops, if you fancied a dip to cool down. A fantastic time was had and I would definitely…”

Review the Lindos Acropolis ticket on Rhodes, with practical advice on queues, steep steps, heat, views, timing, and the optional audio guide.

The acropolis was lovely and had a beautiful view all around. It's definatly a must see when visiting lindos, especially if you like history/seeing old ruins & architecture.”

Review of Rhodes’ six-hour Romantika swim cruise, with three bays, Greek buffet, open bar, snorkeling gear, and practical booking advice.

“The crew was amazing. Both helpful and entertaining. The boat was in great shape and the food was authentically Greek. Do yourself a favor and spend a couple of dollars more and book this excursion. You will not be disappointed. Other boats we drove by were extremely crowded while this on was limited on the passenger count. The food was freshly made and the bartender was a professional. Please bring lots of sunblock.”
