“The trip was really good, we had poor weather to start with (which wasn’t anyone’s fault). The guide was very informative and made sure everyone on board was comfortable at all times. The experience was great and would definitely recommend. Please note if you’re staying up in the mountains (Keri), chances are they won’t pick you up from your hotel because it’s a bit too far for them.”

No reason given they just said the boat is not sailing and I was informed around 5pm on the eve of my sail date. One nice thing is I got a follow up text from the tour operator asking how my trip was so that was nice.”

Especially standing downstairs at the back of the boat watching the white spray shapes created from the speed of fast boat, which would not have been seen or experienced on smaller speed boat, brilliant! Symi was lovely, not what I expected at all, the buildings reminded me of places around Lake Como with lots of character and quaint. Would visit again. Having been to Rhodes old town a lot over the years it hasn't changed,…”

Rhodes: High Speed Boat Trip to Lindos

15.High Speed Boat Trip to Lindos

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 308 reviews · from $50

Travel from Rhodes Town to Lindos by high-speed boat, with about an hour each way and three or four hours ashore. Visit the Acropolis, wander whitewashed lanes, swim at Lindos Bay, or choose the Thursday option with a 30-minute stop at Tsambika Bay. English and German assistance is available.

“Very nice trip! Lindos is a lovely place. The Acropolis was impressive. The maze of shops and tavernas at the bottom was interesting. St. Pauls Bay is a mini paradise, but didn’t have quite enough time to chill there. If you have issues walking or disabilities, the Acropolis will be difficult unless you want to hop onto a donkey. The boat has the comfiest seats ever. Tip: get there early to get a good seat (as you have to check in too) and sit on the right to get a land view (and left on way back).”
