Rhodes

Okay, this one’s by far one of the country’s most famous islands, if not the most famous one.

An island steeped in romance offers many opportunities to make memories with your significant other. Here are some romantic activities to try in and around the area.

Explore the Blue Grotto

This incredible natural wonder in Kastellorizo is just a short boat ride away. The cave spans 75 meters long and 35 meters high, making it the most impressive and beautiful cave in Greece.  The sunlight caresses the water, creating a vibrant vision of turquoise blue, which you have likely seen pop up on your Instagram feed.

Bathe in Kallithea Springs

Just 9km from the city of Rhodes lie Kallithea Springs. Here, you can bathe in the thermal springs. Popularized in the early 20th century by the Italians, this spa has been transformed back to its former glory. The springs, renowned for their healing properties, are a special way to relax and rejuvenate with your partner.

Visit the World Heritage Site of Rhodes Old Town

You can happily get lost in this labyrinth of old cobbled streets, laden with quaint cafes and boutique stalls. Keep an eye out for the remains of the 3rd century temple of Aphrodite. With its fountains, Gothic churches, medieval buildings and a wealth of intimate restaurants, every turn leads you to a new gem. Stray from the path and relish the opportunity to lose yourself in the old town of Rhodes.

Take a Scenic Ride in Symii

This small island just off the coast of Rhodes takes you to a colorful setting of brightly painted neoclassical houses. Enjoy fine dining at one of the many upscale restaurants and admire the panoramic views. You can even take a scenic ride on an open train, to really soak up the stunning views.
