Expert Tips for Groups

• Book accommodations and popular tours well in advance, especially if traveling from June to August. Large villas or blocks of hotel rooms get snapped up quickly.
• For group transport, consider pre-booking a private minivan or using the public KTEL bus service for travel between towns. It's cost-effective and surprisingly efficient for getting to places like Lindos or Faliraki.
• When dining out with a large group, make reservations at least a day ahead. To simplify payment, ask the restaurant beforehand if they can provide separate bills or nominate one person to pay and have others transfer them the money using an app.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best time of year for a group to visit Rhodes?
The best time for a group trip is during the shoulder seasons: April-May and September-October. You'll enjoy pleasant weather, fewer crowds, and lower prices on flights and accommodation. If your group is focused on swimming and nightlife, the peak season of June-August offers the hottest weather but be prepared for crowds and higher costs.

Is Rhodes Old Town easy to navigate for a large group?
The main streets are manageable, but the labyrinthine side alleys can be challenging for keeping a large group together. We recommend setting a clear meeting point (like the Marine Gate or the fountain in Hippocrates Square) and allowing people to explore in smaller groups for an hour or two. Visiting early in the morning or later in the evening can also help avoid the worst of the midday crowds.
