This six-hour boat cruise sails along the east coast of Rhodes aboard a traditional wooden caique, offering a limited number of guests a more private experience. The trip begins at Mandraki Harbour, where the vessel departs and passes the medieval walls of Rhodes' Old Town and the site of the ancient Colossus of Rhodes statue. The cruise includes three swimming stops: Kalithea Springs Bay, Afandou Beach, and Anthony Quinn Bay. At Kalithea Springs, guests have about an hour to swim and explore the area known for its natural springs and historic Italian architecture. Later, the boat cruises past Faliraki Beach before stopping at Afandou Beach, where guests get over an hour to swim, explore caves, and see the long pebble beach with its historic significance. The afternoon swim stop is at Anthony Quinn Bay, a small bay surrounded by cliffs and deep waters, where snorkeling equipment and sea scooters are available to explore the abundant fish. Throughout the cruise, guests have access to a cocktail open bar serving wines, beers, signature cocktails, and non-alcoholic drinks, along with aperitifs, snacks, and a freshly prepared Greek gourmet buffet that includes vegan and gluten-free options. Seating is assigned on comfortable bean bags and sun benches, and safety equipment like pool noodles, floaters, and life jackets are provided. Hotel transfers are available at extra cost but are not included in the price.
