You step off the sun-warmed lane above St Paul’s Bay and the boat hums below like a ready promise. By 9:00 a.m. the motorboat slips from the small dock and the east coast of Rhodes unfurls: sheer limestone cliffs, caves cut by wind and wave, and the white Acropolis of Lindos watching from its headland.

You step off the sun-warmed lane above St Paul’s Bay and the boat hums below like a ready promise. By 9:00 a.m. the motorboat slips from the small dock and the east coast of Rhodes unfurls: sheer limestone cliffs, caves cut by wind and wave, and the white Acropolis of Lindos watching from its headland.
This stretch of the Aegean has been a crossroads since antiquity — Phoenicians, Greeks and later Byzantine sailors used these coves for shelter. The geology is stark: Miocene limestones and fractured marl create small bays and sea caves that the boat threads, while winds sculpt the water into pockets of glassy green at Agathi and deeper navy near Navarone bay.
Culturally the trip is simple and convivial; crews serve a straightforward lunch and locals still fish from small skiffs along these shores. Expect clear, swim-friendly water, snorkelling off the bow, and the sudden hush that falls when the engine idles and the currents dare you to dive.
Practical guidance: boarding begins 30 minutes before departure at the small dock in St Paul’s Bay; departures are 9:00 a.m. (10:00 a.m. on Thursdays) and the return is around 3:00 p.m. The itinerary includes four swim stops and views of Lindos’ Acropolis from the sea. Snorkel gear is provided; bring reef-safe sunscreen, a towel, and a water shoe for rocky entries. If you’re prone to seasickness, take preventative medication and sit mid-boat for the smoothest ride. The crew monitors weather and may adjust the itinerary for safety — embrace flexibility and the sea will reward you with quiet bays and clear swimming.
