Ferry to Rhodes: Travel Guide

When to take the ferry to Rhodes?

In summer, average temperatures vary between 25 and 35 degrees Celsius, with possible heat peaks in July and August. The days are long and sunny, perfect for a beach holiday or exploring the country's archaeological sites. However, bear in mind that this is also Greece's peak tourist season, which means that places of interest can be busier and prices can be higher.

If you prefer to avoid the crowds of tourists, spring and autumn are also good seasons to travel in Greece. In April, May, September and October, temperatures are mild, fluctuating between 20 and 25 degrees Celsius. Beaches are less crowded and accommodation prices can be lower. This is also an ideal time to explore the Greek islands and avoid the summer heatwave.

Discover the country from Rhodes port

Greece is a multi-faceted country, with thousands of islands and islets, each offering its own charm and atmosphere. Ferries are a popular means of transport for travellers wishing to explore the Greek islands. Ferries generally operate from May to September, but some routes also operate outside this period. The main ports for ferries in Greece are Athens, Piraeus, Thessaloniki and Heraklion, Crete.

The Greek islands are famous for their natural beauty, traditional architecture and fascinating history. One of the most popular islands is Santorini, known for its spectacular sea views and white houses with blue roofs. The islands of Mykonos and Rhodes are also very popular, offering a lively nightlife and beautiful beaches. For those looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of island life, the quieter islands of Milos and Sifnos are perfect options.

Discover the region from Rhodes

First of all, it is important to know that there are several ferry companies that serve the Dodecanese islands. The best known are Blue Star Ferries, Dodekanisos Seaways, and Anek Lines. You can compare prices on Vivanoda and then book them online.

The main ports in the Dodecanese are Rhodes, Kos and Kalymnos, which are connected to many islands in the region. There are also direct connections between some of the islands, which can be handy if you want to explore several islands at once.
