Rhodes's waters, in practice

The great Dodecanese island, between the medieval Mandraki harbour and the nearby Turkish coast. Wind-wise: a steady westerly meltemi in summer, the island’s east coast staying the most sheltered.

Departures, day-trip classics and season

Departures: Mandraki harbour, at the gate of the Knights’ old town. The local classics: Lindos bay below the acropolis, Anthony Quinn bay, and Symi with its neoclassical harbour one crossing away. High season: from May to October, one of Greece’s longest seasons.
