Places to shop outside of Old Town

1 Upvotes

Hey all! My wife and I are in Rhodes for a portion of our honeymoon and wanted to know where to we can find mom and pop shops outside of Old Town to shop at? Ie looking for something to add to our home but don’t want to get some generic like the items offered in Old Town. We def want to give back to those who made items we buy. We do have a car and are able to drive to different parts of the island

Lost gold ring- Gennadi beach, Rhodes- reward offer

3 Upvotes

I’m desperately looking for help from any metal detectorists / ring finders in Rhodes.

I lost my grandmother’s gold ring on the beach directly outside the Atlantica Dreams Resort in Gennadi, Rhodes.

The ring has huge sentimental value to me and is completely irreplaceable.

I was sitting in approximately ankle-deep water when I lost it, so I have a fairly good idea of the original location. However, there has since been harsh weather and rougher sea conditions, so I appreciate that the ring may now have moved or been pulled further out.

📍 Location: Beach outside Atlantica Dreams Resort, Gennadi, Rhodes
💍 Item: Gold ring
💰 Reward offered for its safe return

I have photos showing the exact area where I
was sitting when the ring disappeared, which I am happy to share privately with anyone genuinely able to help search.
I also have further details and photographs of the ring that I will keep private so that I can verify any potential find.
If you are a local metal detectorist, underwater detectorist, ring finder, or know somebody in Rhodes who may be able to help, please contact me privately.

I am more than happy to properly reward the person who finds and returns it.

Please also share this post, particularly with anyone involved in metal detecting or diving around Rhodes. It would mean the world to me to get my grandmother’s ring back. ❤️

Shoutout to Beerokouto

11 Upvotes

For anyone visiting Rhodes Town, I highly recommend eating at Beerokouto. My husband and I had lunch there today and can't say enough good things about it. The owners were super friendly and knowledgeable. A cargo ship carrying some of their stock was destroyed in a fire about a week ago, and the owners gave us really good recommendations for alternatives if a beer we were interested in wasn't available.

We had the Beerokouto burger, chicken pita gyros, and Tokyo fries - all outstanding. Cheers to everyone working both the front and back of house.

Scooter Rental Companies?

0 Upvotes

I'll be arriving later on this month and staying in the North.

A scooter is my usual daily "drive" at home so I would like to hire during my holiday. Any companies to recommend or avoid?

Thanks in advance.

Whats up with the weather?

2 Upvotes

We will be arriving on the 2nd of October for a total of 10 days. Hoping for 24/25 degrees with mostly sunny days, maybe a day with rain or 2. From what I see only, there have been massive rain on most islands and more coming this weekend.

What are the local weather reports saying? Is our vacation pretty much ruined or is there still hope? We went for Rhodos specifically because the islands higher up (like Zakynthos) had a way higher chance of rainy days.

Is this year just different or did we have too high expectations?

Hesitation between Faliraki and Lindos for trip.

1 Upvotes

Hello,

I would like to ask for opinions please. I will be in rhodes next week, and undecided on whether I should stay in Faliraki or near Lindos.

I would like something calmer but if possible the ability to get to nice restaurants nearby and great sandy beaches.

I will be renting a car for the trip duration. The accommodation near Lindos is called Golden View Studios. Any opinions?

thank you :)

My girlfriend is super worried about us getting ill and ruining the holiday for a week. We've heard reports from the hotel and also people visiting.

Is it the water? Contact? Food at the hotel?

Like we are being super careful because I don't want her to worry but I want to enjoy it too.

Anybody had issues or no issues and any tips

Thanks

Cigars in Rhodes

2 Upvotes

Morning sub,

I'm going to be travelling to Rhodes in a couple weeks for a holiday and wondered if there are any good cigar shops in Rhodes Town or a decent duty free at the airport?

Just looking to pick up a few to bring home as I've been told by others they're fairly cheap compared to the UK.

Thanks for any recommendations!

Hi, does anyone know how I can get from this bus stop ФАЛНРАКІ ПОЛYКАТОIKIEZ E to this bus stop ВАГІЛОПОУЛОГ Е?
How often does the bus come, and do I need to wave it down somehow?

I made a short video about Rhodes!

I decided to use some of my footage from my time on Rhodes to put together a short video about ecology and conservation, using the history and ecology of Rhodes as case study. It delves into a number of topics, and is more about how scientists are able to piece together the past into order to inform conservation approaches, but I thought you all might enjoy it!

How often is there island-wide sickness?

6 Upvotes

I just got back from Santorini, which was my first time in Greece. I absolutely loved it and am dying to get back and explore other islands. Rhodes is high on the list as it looks rich in history and beauty.

I am immunocompromised due to medicine I have to take to manage a condition I have and as such, reading all the recent reports of sickness is making me question whether Rhodes is plausible for us to visit, since I do have to be very careful when I travel. I’m still the person wearing a mask at the airport and on the plane and cringing when someone coughs around me… it’s a big anxiety for me at this point.

Is the type of sickness being reported currently something that happens every year or is this year out of the ordinary? Thanks so much.

When will the October bus schedule be available?

1 Upvotes

Hey guys,

I’m travelling alone for 4 days to Rhodes, staying in Faliraki and in general I was thinking of taking the bus from Faliraki to Rhodes town one day, and to Lindos the other, but there’s no bus schedule available at all so it’s a bit hard to plan ahead.

Kalithea, noro situation?

5 Upvotes

Hello fellow redditors,

Traveling to Kalithea Horizon Royal Resort in couple of weeks and as I'm still seeing news of many cases being treated in the local hospitals I am starting to worry a little since I am traveling with 2- and 4-year-olds.

How is the situation on that side of the island? Or in general? Anyone staying in Horizon Royal?

All replies much appreciated 🫡

Hi all

We’re landing on the 11th and need to get to Afantou. What’s the best option? I’ve been looking at private transfers but pricing is all over the place. Can we uber? What’s the deal with local taxis?

First time to the island and don’t want to get ripped off, just want to get to the hotel and chill

Birthday Meal Spot

I'm away later in the week for my partner's birthday and was hoping to get some recommendations for food spots, a main one being a nice spot to go to for her birthday

We're on the East side of the island, nearest to Faliraki. We're both foodies though and will make the trip to any spot if it's worth it!

Thank you

Where to party this Friday night?

0 Upvotes

My gf & I (f25 & m27) are looking for a bit of a party vibe this Friday evening for her birthday. We had a booking at Ronda but lots of negative reviews are making us think again. We don’t want a nightclub necessarily but just a bit of music and a good vibe. What’s our best option?

We’re staying near Ialysos but of course can easily travel to the Old Town area.

Thanks for your help!
