Step aboard a white-hulled catamaran at Rhodes New Marina and feel the Aegean pull you east along sun-bright cliffs. The boat heels gently under sail, salt air pressing forward as the island’s limestone headlands slip starboard and the water opens into pockets of cobalt; the crew eases anchor at sheltered coves and invites you to swim off the platform into clear, cool water.

Step aboard a white-hulled catamaran at Rhodes New Marina and feel the Aegean pull you east along sun-bright cliffs. The boat heels gently under sail, salt air pressing forward as the island’s limestone headlands slip starboard and the water opens into pockets of cobalt; the crew eases anchor at sheltered coves and invites you to swim off the platform into clear, cool water.
This route threads together sites with layered histories: Kallithea’s restored Italian-era spa buildings and mosaics, the pebble beaches of Afandou with their old fishing coves, and the famously curved inlet at Anthony Quinn Bay—named after the actor who filmed here in the 1960s. Geologically you’ll notice sculpted dolomite and karst caves cut by Mediterranean swells and uplift, which create the private swim basins that make this stretch so swim-friendly.
Expect relaxed Greek island culture onboard—shared lunch, local wine, and conversational crew who point out hidden grottoes. Nature here is assertive: waves carve, wind rearranges sand bars, and gulls watch with quick, judgmental curiosity.
Practicalities: the cruise runs about six hours, with multiple 30–60 minute swim stops, accessible to most fitness levels. Bring reef-safe sunscreen, a swim towel, water shoes for rocky landings, and a light wind shell for sea spray. Morning departures keep seas calmer and mid-July heat lower; if you’re prone to motion sickness, take medication before boarding. Anchor respectfully, pack out rubbish, and leave marine life undisturbed to keep these bays pristine.

Rhodes’ east coast mixes Hellenistic and medieval influences; nearby Kallithea was developed as a seaside spa under Italian rule in the early 20th century.
Many bays are ecologically sensitive—use reef-safe products, avoid anchoring on seagrass beds, and take all trash back to shore.
