About This Experience

Full-day group yacht cruise along the East coast of Rhodes. Swim and snorkel at four stunning locations — the underwater Afantou Caves, the emerald waters of Anthony Quinn Bay, the private island of Seskli, and the historic Kallithea Springs. Free drinks all day, safety equipment for children, shower facilities and shade tent provided. Also available from Ella Resorts (Elissa & Helea) with alternative departure times.

East Coast of Rhodes Group Cruise stays on the sheltered east shore of Rhodes, so the day feels relaxed even when the Meltemi blows offshore. Expect multiple swim stops at famous bays such as Anthony Quinn and Kalithea, a buffet lunch on full-day departures, and plenty of deck time between anchors. It is a strong choice for families and first-time boat guests who want swimming and scenery without a long open-sea crossing. We match you to the operator and departure point listed below.

East coast day cruises stay in sheltered water, so seasickness is uncommon. Lunch is often a buffet served while at anchor; grab a plate when service opens to avoid the rush. Bring reef-safe sunscreen if you snorkel near rocky coves.
