“Had an absolutely fantastic time! The food was delicious, the live music was amazing and the staff were super friendly and funny. The stop off at Kalithea springs was packed with boats so the captain decided to go Anthony Quin bay instead which was brilliant and then had an awesome sunset on the way back. The atmosphere that was created by the staff and band was second to none! Plenty of drinks to be had, cooler boxes filled with beer, o little cocktail bar to order from and the staff came round multiple times with a choice of wines. Definitely the highlight of our holiday to Rhodes!!Read more”

Loved all of it. The swimming spots were great and so was the boat ride. Don’t forget to ask for snorkels. They are behind the bar.”
