Boat Trip along the East Coast incl. Afandou Caves with Swimming

This boat trip along the east coast of Rhodes revolves around swimming in the clear waters of the Aegean Sea and is therefore perfect for all water lovers! Starting from Mandraki Port in Rhodes City, we head south along the stunning coast characterized by a rocky landscape with many beaches and villages. Just lean back and enjoy the view from one of the 3 decks of our ferry boat until we reach our first stop: Anthony Quinn’s Bay. This sheltered, rocky beach is named after the famous Hollywood actor and is perfect for swimming and snorkeling (don't forget to bring your equipment)!

After about half an hour, we continue our journey southwards until we reach the scenic Tsambika Bay with its long, sandy beach. After going for another swim in the clear water, it is time to enjoy a delicious buffet lunch with many Greek specialities on board the boat. We stay in the bay for about 2 hours, so you have plenty of time to explore the beach and some nearby rocks and caves or just soak up the sun. Throughout the whole trip, you can also get snacks, sweets and drinks from our onboard snack bar.

Our next stop is the Afandou Bay, which is one of the cleanest ones in the area thanks to its pebble beach. Here, you have half an hour to explore the magical Afandou Caves, swim and snorkel in the turquoise water and, if you want, jump from the rocks. On the return journey, we have a final 20-minute swimming stop in the sheltered Kallithea Bay. From the boat, you can also catch a glimpse of the Kallithea Springs while letting the warm sea breeze and the late afternoon sun dry you off until we reach Mandraki Port.
