Plan your trip/4 October 2026
A week on Rhodes
Seven days, the best of the island, and plenty of time on the beach.
From Kolympia, nearly everything on Rhodes is a day trip or less. This plan mixes the big sights with slow days by the sea.
Day 1: settle in
Unpack, swim at the beach in front of the villas, and have dinner in Kolympia.
Day 2: Lindos
Climb the acropolis before nine, wander the lanes, swim at St Paul's Bay. Back for a quiet evening.
Day 3: springs and sand
Morning at Seven Springs, afternoon on Tsambika's sand, then climb to the monastery for the late light.
Day 4: Rhodes Old Town
Go in the afternoon: the Street of the Knights, the Grand Master's Palace, a walk on the moat, and dinner inside the walls.
Day 5: wine and the west
Taste wine in Embonas, have a long lunch, then drive to Monolithos for the sunset.
Day 6: the south, or the sea
Prasonisi for the kitesurfers and the two seas, or a boat to Symi from Rhodes Town.
Day 7: the coves
Snorkel at Anthony Quinn Bay, coffee at Kallithea Springs, and a last swim at home.
