The bow parts the blue and the south coast of Rhodes slides into view — ochre cliffs cupped by narrow bays, boats bobbing like olives in a glass dish. On this three-hour coastal cruise guests move at an easy pace between Ladiko Bay, the rocky amphitheater of Anthony Quinn Bay and the sea-carved Traganou Caves, with short swims and time to drift beneath limestone walls.

Meet at Kathara Beach kiosk
Arrive 15 minutes early and follow the operator’s directions — the kiosk is 50 m left of the small bridge at Kathara Beach.
Bring reef-safe sunscreen
Strong Mediterranean sun and clear water increase UV exposure; choose biodegradable sunscreen to protect marine habitats.
Secure a wind layer
Sea breezes cool quickly once the boat stops for swims — a thin windbreaker or rashguard helps you stay warm.
Protect your feet for pebbles
Be ready for pebbly beaches and boat ramps — lightweight water shoes make entry and exit much easier.
Swimwear and quick-dry towel
Swim and dry off quickly during the stops at bays and caves.
