Activities

Catamaran sunset cruise from Rhodes New Marina ticket only

You'll be hard pushed to find a better way to spend your evening than watching the sunset from a swanky catamaran while sipping a glass of bubbles. Add in the chance to jump from the deck into a secluded bay for a dip and this guided catamaran cruise could be topping your list of must-do activities in Rhodes. Your three-and-a-half-hour cruise sets sail from Rhodes New Marina in the late afternoon. Step on board and the friendly crew will hand you a welcome drink to set the tone of the trip. Sailing south, you'll reach a spot that's so tucked away, it almost feels like it's closed off from the sea. At Anthony Quinn Bay, the anchor drops and the water toys come out. You can swim, snorkel and even fly down the slide into the clear water that's protected by pine-clad, rocky hills – it's like a mini amphitheatre. Dry off on deck, top up your drinks and graze on canapes, sushi and fresh fruit as you sail to the northern-most point of the island, Aquarium Cape, for the grand finale. Oranges, pinks and purples streak the sky as the sun dips below the horizon, adding a little drama to your panoramic view of the sea. After soaking in golden hour from the deck, you'll cruise back to Rhodes New Marina.

Evening tour of Rhodes Town with dinner

If Rhodes town is impressive by day, wait till you get to know it at night. On this exclusive evening excursion, you'll enjoy a guided walking tour of the medieval town's best bits, followed by a traditional dinner in a family-run taverna. Dimitris, one of our expert local guides, says, “You'll delve into the historic streets of Collachio and the labyrinthine Burgo, where Greeks lived for centuries.” Plus, with headsets connecting you directly to your guide, you won't miss a single detail.Now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the walled town of Rhodes was built by the Knights of Saint John in the 14th-century. You'll get the lowdown on the history of Collachio, the area hugging the impressive Palace of the Grand Master. It buzzes with life as shops and bars light up in the cool evening air. As you stroll southwards, the area's ordered streets give way to the more chaotic and maze-like alleys of Burgo. This district, dotted with old mosques and historic Orthodox churches, is a joy to wander on foot.After 90 minutes of learning all about this fascinating slice of medieval life, you'll drop into a typical taverna. Tuck into a spread of traditional dishes made with fresh, local ingredients, and savour the authentic flavours of the island. Once your appetite is satisfied, cap off the high with a relaxing stroll through the vibrant New Town and Mandraki Harbour, rounding out your evening in true Greek style.
