Along Rhodes’ pristine coastline, Kalithea stands out as a prime sailing hub. The area’s crystal-clear waters and dramatic cliffs make it ideal for day trips by boat.
Our favorite excursion is the 6-hour sailing yacht tour – perfect for those who prefer intimate groups of 10-12 people and want to swim in the famous Anthony Quinn’s Bay.
The motor yacht options are equally appealing, offering 2.5 to 6-hour journeys with Greek buffets and unlimited beverages. These shorter trips work well for families and casual sailors who want a taste of the Mediterranean.
